00:00And Dr. Eli, Qatar has a large military base and the Qatar Sovereign Wealth Fund invests a lot of money in the U.S.
00:10Can the country now trust the U.S. to protect it following what we saw happening on Tuesday?
00:19I do believe that both countries need each other.
00:22They are strategic partners, and I don't think there will be a big separation in that sense,
00:30neither in investments nor in the strategic alliance nor in the presence of the American base in Qatar.
00:38I think this can be amended, and this is why the meeting came very quickly and at that high of a level,
00:45not invoids, not ministers, but the two heads of the states meeting and meeting within a few days.
00:50There will be amends with the U.S.
00:53However, where the region altogether is going, what kind of stability, what kind of vision for the future of the region,
01:00I think there will be a lot of change in that, and there will be a lot of review of the relationship
01:07that have already been established with Israel.
01:09But I don't think there's a threat that the U.S. or Qatar will completely separate
01:14and switch the strategic alliance to somebody else or cut it completely.
