So now both the mafia bosses that are free and the ones who are behind bars have been using latest generation mobile phones with special encrypted software for their meetings to the point where some bosses from their prison cells have been able to order the beatings of some people that have wronged them and, you know, watch it all happen on the screen of a tiny mobile phone.

Yes, that's right, Nick. And while I and I think many other Sicilians still feel like the mafia is kind of a specter that hangs over us, it still finds a way to kind of weave itself into bigger, already existing problems and economic crises. So, for example, Sicily is currently undergoing one of the most serious water crises in its history.

And while, of course, this is due to droughts and increasingly dry winters, the mafia there has been able to harness that crisis for profit, for example, by offering water for sale, which is often drawn from illegal wells of questionable quality.

So I think many Sicilians still feel disheartened and powerless in the face of it all and feel that it's a problem that they will never be able to fully eradicate.

It was one of those kind of frantic scenes where you see the two leaders sitting side by side, a fireplace there in the White House, Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Trump. And then these questions just being kind of rapid fire thrown at both Trump and Netanyahu. But these are comments that we've heard President Trump make before. He's kind of reiterating the stance that.

He thinks that Gazans should essentially be given land elsewhere, that this isn't a place that he thinks they could return to or that they would want to return to. He has suggested and he kind of underlined this again that neighboring countries, Egypt or Jordan, could take on some Palestinians.

You know, he was throwing out numbers off the top of his head, but he said something like 1.7, 1.8 million people. Obviously, this is something that those countries have suggested. flat out rejected as of now.

He then said, you know, there could be up to six different locations where where Palestinians could go to, you know, and he sort of said, look, returning to Gaza, in his words, is a guarantee that they're going to end up dying. And he suggested and we heard there in that clip from from President Trump, but saying that, you know, people don't want to go back.

And we obviously saw at the first moment that the northern part of Gaza was reopened and people were allowed to start to return. We saw these in Really impactful scenes of hundreds of thousands really of Palestinians returning for the first time in months to that area of Gaza. If you ask many Palestinians, of course, they would say that this is where they live. This is their homeland.

They don't want to leave. So these are controversial statements and it's probably fair to say that – Hearing a president of the United States utter these words is definitely a shift in terms of the political stance, the actual policy of the United States in terms of especially what we saw from President Biden.

He was very clear that he saw a solution to peace in this region as a two-state solution, Israel and some sort of land for the Palestinians living side by side.
