>> Shannon: VICE PRESIDENT
MIKE PENCE WRAPPING UP HIS TIME
IN JERUSALEM WITH A MEETING WITH
ISRAEL'S PRESIDENT WHO OFFERED
HIGH PRAISE FOR HIM AND YOU
DISH, HIM A MENSCH, A PERSON OF
INTEGRITY.
HE ALSO TRAVELED ISRAEL'S
HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE CENTER.
THE VICE PRESIDENT IS CLEARLY ON
DISPLAY, PROTECTING PERSECUTED
RELIGIOUS GROUPS, A FOCAL POINT
OF THIS GROUP.
>> THE TERRORISM OF ISIS IN IRAQ
AND SYRIA HAS TORN ASUNDER
COMMUNITIES HAVE EVERY.
UNITED NATIONS PROGRAMS WERE
FAILING TO FUND RECONSTRUCTION
DOLLARS TO HISTORIC CHRISTIAN
COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITIES OF
OTHER RELIGIOUS MINORITIES IN
THE REGION.
THAT ARE REBUILDING CHRISTIAN
COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITIES OF
RELIGIOUS MINORITIES.
>> Shannon: IS THAT SOMETHING
YOU WERE ABLE TO DISCUSS IN
EGYPT AND JORDAN?
>> Vice President Pence: I WAS
THRIVING ACROSS THE ARAB WORLD.
>> Shannon: BUT HE WAS SLAMMED
BY DISPLAYING HIS FAITH.
I SAT DOWN WITH THE TOP
PALESTINIAN NEGOTIATOR,
SAEB EREKAT COME ON OUR TRIP.
WE VISITED WITH HIM IN RAMALLAH.
HE HAD THIS ESSAY BY BY THE
>> I THINK WE ARE IN THE WORST
SITUATION WE HAVE BEEN IN SINCE
PRESIDENT TRUMP TO DECLARE
HELP -- YOU LOSE HOPE.
IF YOU LOSE HOPE, WHEN I SAY
LOSING HOPE, KEEPING HOPE IN THE
MINDS OF PALESTINIANS AND
ISRAELIS MEANS SAVING LIVES.
UNILATERAL MOVE TO DECLARE
JERUSALEM AS THE CAPITAL OF
ISRAEL, AND THE LAST PRESIDENT,
ON FOX NEWS, SAYING THAT NOW,
SINCE JERUSALEM IS OFF THE TABLE
SINCE JERUSALEM IS OFF THE TABL
TABLE, WHICH WASN'T EVEN SUBJECT
TO NEGOTIATION, BUT LET'S
DISCUSS ISSUES THAT ARE
NEGOTIABLE.
OVER.
IT'S OVER.
>> Shannon: MEANWHILE, THE
TRUMAN ADMINISTRATION IS CUTTING
BACK FUNDING TO THE
UNITED NATIONS AGENCIES THAT
WORKS DIRECTLY WITH PALESTINIAN
AGENCIES.
IT IS CALLED UNWRA.
THEY SAY IT BENEFITS THE TERROR
GROUP HAMAS.
SPEAK IT WITH AN INTERNATIONAL,
INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATION.
FOR THE UNITED STATES TO CUT
$65 MILLION FROM THE REFUGEES,
SHANNON, LAST YEAR, WE SPENT
18%, OF OUR VERY, VERY POOR
DIDN'T WANT THE KILLERS AND
MURDERERS OF ISIS TO RECRUIT OUR
PEOPLE.
OKAY, NOW YOU MOVE IMMEDIATELY
TO CUT $65 MILLION.
SO WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
YOU ARE GOING TO FORCE THESE
PEOPLE TO MIGRATE IN THOUSANDS
OR TO GO TO RECRUITMENT FOR
THOSE EXTREMIST KILLERS AND
MURDERERS?
YOU CANNOT TAKE SUCH STEPS
WITHOUT READING THE CONSEQUENCES
OF THEM.
YOU JUST CANNOT.
THIS IS A REGION -- THERE ARE NO
MODERATES IN THIS REGION PRAISE.
WHEN I THEN ASKED EREKAT IF HE
HAS A METHOD FOR AMERICANS.
HERE'S WHAT HE SAID ABOUT THAT.
>> I THINK IT'S AMERICAN
NATIONAL INTEREST, THE U.S.
BORDERS ARE NO LONGER WITH
CANADA AND MEXICO AND THE TWO
OCEANS.
I THINK YOU HAVE MORE THAN
MAJOR REQUIREMENT TO DEFEAT
EXTREMISM.
>> Shannon: I ALSO ASKED
EREKAT WHAT WOULD BRING THE
PALESTINIANS BACK TO NEGOTIATING
WITH THE AMERICANS, AND HE KEPT
SAYING IT'S OVER, IT'S OVER.
HIS ANSWER WAS BASICALLY, THE
ONLY THING THAT WE GET THEM BACK
TO TALK TO BEFORE THE U.S. OR
