I am hopeful though that the next government in Israel

After Netanyahu, it would be more focused on Israel.

It would try to sort of put an end to Netanyahu and in sort of pragmatic grasping of its own national interest, will try to make pragmatic dealings with different regimes in the region.

And there I think it's entirely possible, you know, to get to some sort of a peaceful settlement of major nations.

and state conflicts.

And for Israel, finally, you know, it would be the real fulfillment of the Zionist dream in a way.

For Israel to become a country, define its borders, recognized by other countries in the region.

Israel has never been a better place to bring that about.

But it needs to do something about the occupation of Palestine.

He needs to do something with the fact that the state of Palestine is recognized now with most countries in the world.

And he needs to do something.

You can win arguments on Twitter against people, but you can never convince the international community and everybody else that there are going to be seven, eight million people over whom you're going to rule, and you're going to give them no rights.

And that's just because it's defensive and you're going to do it for 200 years because this is the only way you can, you know, no self-respecting Arab country is going to be convinced of that in the long run.

And, you know, even the UAE wouldn't be convinced of that.

I mean, you know, they'll ignore it for a while, but it's not like they're going to actually endorse it.

So they're going to need to do something that will bring about a lasting solution.

The protests have led already to the most brutal response Iran has shown since the 1980s.

First of all, the regime has never been so diplomatically isolated and so troubled at home.

It has lost its allies in the region and beyond.

At home, it is just failing to pass basic tests of competence.
