Donald J. Trump

Shortly thereafter, he said, they said, well, Netanyahu said last night in Hebrew in this video that the war continues on, although the Gaza part's down.

There's one of the posters about President Trump.

You're seeing these all over now, and particularly in areas of Israel that President Trump hasn't been particularly popular.

So, Kurt, he basically said, hey, he's a wartime president, leaving open Netanyahu's futures in this entire thing.

He also was adamant when told that Netanyahu had had this video addressed to the people in Israel.

about the war goes on, although the Gaza part of it is done, and this is part of the greater Israel project that has gotten so many people here in the United States, quite frankly, outraged about dragging us into it.

And he said the war is over.

What do you think the president is messaging right now to Netanyahu and to that kind of center-right and right-wing party in Israel?

I think he's absolutely messaging that he wants this to be finito, that he wants this to be the last word on the subject, potentially for his presidency.

He doesn't want Benjamin Netanyahu coming back to Washington every other month, as it literally seems that he has to Washington.

He doesn't want to be making a third trip

to the region.

This is, of course, the second trip after May this October this year to solve these problems.

Trump thinks that this should be a justifiable and durable

You see a lot of you see the president's empathetic streak kind of coming through here, which I believe is an underrated part of his personality.

You see Trump talking a lot more about history, which is not necessarily something that he does every day.

And I think you have a general desire to be rid of the Israel issue for a while.

We'll see how that goes.

I don't think the president is ignorant of who he's dealing with.

I think there's already signs from Netanyahu that he might try to scutter the second phase of this deal.
