00:00Politically, lots has been happening. President Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff held

00:06a meeting yesterday, I gather, with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. President

00:12Trump has also invited Prime Minister Netanyahu to the White House next week. I'm just wondering

00:17how you see these two men working together and how you see events unfolding with President

00:23Trump now back in the White House.

00:25One of these two men I know quite closely, Mr. Netanyahu, we were together many years,

00:29now we are not together. The other man, President Trump, the new American president, I dare

00:36not guess what he may do. I can't decipher his activity. He's a surprise, hopefully for

00:43the better, but I have no idea what he wants to do and how he's going to do it. I think

00:48many of us were surprised with some actions that he took. I hope he will do the right

00:52thing and we'll be able to get it through. I think, it seems, he wants this over and

00:58all hostages back and Hamas not ruling us. This is what they say. If he and the Israeli

01:04Prime Minister get their act together and the others play into this game, in that sense,

01:10it's going to be all right. But I don't bet anything on this because I don't know

01:14what's going to happen. We'll have to wait next week and maybe we'll meet again on LRB after that.
