| We had a hour meeting across the street from the UN. | |
| And I remember Pastor Moore's first two questions, because they're still totally relevant. | |
| How do we know he can trust you? | |
| And how do we know that you can deliver? | |
| That was and is and should be in the front of our minds. | |
| I know it is the Secretary of State who knows a great deal about the history of Syria. | |
| And I'm sure it's a factor also for the President. | |
| I would say about the person that I met together with Reverend Moore for two hours in the Presidential Palace in Damascus, kind of out-of-body experience, if you will. | |
| I walked away from that meeting convinced that we were really looking at a unicorn. | |
| I think despite his historic footprint, which is almost all terrorism, he is someone who understands the task ahead. | |
| If the nation of Syria is going to have a future that it needs to an extreme makeover in terms of its infrastructure and everything else associated with growing a proper country. | |
| And I would say that of the two hours that we spent together, a full forty minutes, one way or the other, also dealt with Israel, and I thought that his main message was, we're not enemies, not enemies anymore. | |
| We need to de-conflict. | |
| And then he went into some detail about the list of things they want, you know, and expect or demand in return for, you know, further normalization. | |
| And so my personal view is the following that the step by step discussions are already underway and they're going to be ploughing through a lot of issues. | |
| That might be the best way to approach this whole thing. | |
| However, do not underestimate the X factor of Donald Trump. | |
| I think BB Netanyahu asked the president to be involved. | |
| with the issue. | |
| I think the Syrians are shocked that he made the move that they desperately needed. |
