So first of all, in the before the invasion, New York Times with a rare good article that explained that Netanyahu and the head of Mossad came into the Situation Room, Netanyahu physically and head of Mossad through a teleconference.
And they told Trump, you got to attack, you got to attack now.
And they took at least as the New York Times describes it, they convinced them whether they actually convinced them.
Through language or through money or through blackmail is a whole different question.
But another thing that's absolutely clear is that after every call with Netanyahu, Trump goes from saying we're going to have peace to saying we're not going to have peace and we're going to have these new impossible standards.
This happened about half a dozen times so far.

We have a deal ready to make for American interests.
Israel says, no, we're not done because we need southern Lebanon and we need Iran to be completely decimated.
This idea that Kevin's talking about, to be fair to Kevin, almost everybody in America thinks in this, well, now to be unfair to Kevin, this fantasy world where the regime in Iran is just going to give up.
It's never going to happen.

It didn't work at all.
They have an enormous infrastructure set up.
So it doesn't really matter how many people you knock off at the top.
Somebody else rises up.
