00:00Yeah, and I mean, another thing that Mr. Trump must be feeling right now is having just had a very successful visit to the Middle East, which incidentally didn't include a stop off in Israel.
00:09He's got all these business deals in the pipeline with with regional powers.
00:13He's got strong alliances with leaders here in the Middle East.
00:18And I'm assuming that they've been telling him that they want this war to end very much indeed.
00:26It's on their doorstep, and it's a very sensitive issue in this particular region.
00:31How much do you think President Trump feels pressure from those regional leaders?
00:35Does he feel it more than from the Prime Minister Netanyahu?
00:38I think he's feeling a lot of pressure from them.
00:40I think he feels sympathy for them.
00:42He has very strong relations with the Saudis.
00:45The Saudis have said very clearly that they will not normalize relations with Israel without a Palestinian state.
00:51The creation of the two-state solution, the Palestinian state, is crucial for the security of Jordan and Egypt, two other allies of the United States and of President Trump.
01:02I'm sure that the UAE has also weighed in very heavily with the Americans and the importance of having a political framework now, not just ending the war, but also a change of leadership in Palestine, a change of leadership in Israel, and a new direction.
01:16You know, it was Netanyahu who coined the phrase that Israel is a villa in the jungle.
01:21What's standing in front of us is converting Israel into a villa in a very nice neighborhood that the entire world will look at and want to live in.
