00:00First of all, let's turn to you. A significant announcement, it seems.

00:04Yeah, significant is a word that I would use for it, especially the fact that he recalled the cabinet.

00:15And I don't think it's going to have much sway in Gaza.

00:19But I think the timing of it is interesting that he's just come back from Scotland to see Mr. Trump.

00:24Because it always comes back to Trump every story, really, doesn't it?

00:27So I think he probably, in the conversation with the Donald, probably, when they spoke about this,

00:33he got the indication that Trump was starting to lose his patience with Israel.

00:38So I think that gave him the green light that he could go ahead with it.

00:41Because a lot of the British press were talking about how stammer was on the fence about this issue of recognizing the Palestinian state.

00:48So I think that the significance can be put in that he probably got the green light to go ahead from Trump.

00:53So I think that is a positive move because it might show that there is some sway in Washington.

01:00So I think that's the more significant angle, I think, in this story.
