We're gonna talk in a moment, Jamie, about elections coming up in Israel and again
voice-verified
Really, really important because of the same kind of forever war mentality that the current government in Israel appears to be
voice-verified
Wanting to continue and anyway stuck in, mired in since october seventh.
voice-verified
So, Jamie, there are elections coming up in Israel.
voice-verified
I believe the date is October twenty-seventh, and it's the kind of thing that Benjamin Netanyahu I think has been trying to put off for a while because he does not want this moment of accountability for many, many reasons.
