00:00Okay, so when Prime Minister Netanyahu arrives in Washington

00:03and holds talks with President Trump on Monday,

00:06I'm just wondering how much pressure both men are under.

00:09Who's under more pressure here?

00:10Because President Trump campaigned on a promise of ending wars.

00:16He did play a decisive role in ending the 12-day war with Iran.

00:22Presumably he wants to repeat that same success of ending another war.

00:27I mean, he's really serious, isn't he,

00:29that he wants Prime Minister Netanyahu to put a stop to this?

00:32Do you think he's going to lose patience with him?

00:34I don't know. We don't know.

00:35Trump is completely unpredictable.

00:37What I've told the people who work for Trump

00:39and are dealing with this issue is that Netanyahu can't say no to Trump.

00:43This is the reality of Israel today,

00:46which is completely dependent on the United States.

00:49Netanyahu cannot say no to Trump,

00:51even if his government falls, it breaks apart.

00:53Benvir and Smutlij leave the government.

00:55By the way, to pass the deal,

00:57the opposition in Israel will support it.

01:00They'll give backing for it,

01:01and we'll go to new elections.

01:02And if Netanyahu is so confident

01:04that the people of Israel support him,

01:06let's go to elections.

01:07Let's see who really has the support of the Israeli people.

01:10But Trump can't allow Netanyahu to dictate here on this issue,

01:14which is crucial to the security of the region.

01:16It's crucial to Israel's security.

01:18Let's see who really merchants should be here on this issue.

01:25Let's watch for rerun.

01:27Nintendo said if that's okay to 1990—

01:30killed I'm.

01:32We're going to Mexico to maintain a few years ago.

01:34Let's try to say to people of Israel.

01:36I'm sure we ocupate the same position.

01:37It's how we call the power movement.

01:40We'll go back the village into this issue.

01:41So why were we,

01:42that's the first word of Israel?

01:44Yes, it was so smart.

01:45You knew that I was saying to register
