What does this mean for Israel right now?
Steve, one thing I'd like to clarify for your viewers just a little bit so they can get a little bit of a political lexicon about the politics of Israel.
So if I could use the analogy, Bibi Netanyahu is sort of a George W. Bush in terms of where he is on the political left, right, and center in the country.
He's a political moderate.
There are people that I would call MIGA, Make Israel Great Again, much further on the right, people like Simcha Rothman, Smotrich, Ben-Gavir.
These guys represent more of the MAGA equivalent in the Israeli political scene.
And then, Steve, to your point, you have the left, almost the Bernie Sanders crowd,
in Tel Aviv.
So I think that's informative for people that don't follow closely Israeli politics.
And what does that mean?
So Posobiec was talking about the prime minister's coalition earlier, and that's part of the issue is that more conservative members of the coalition had some real issues with the peace deal for national security reasons.
So just to explain to your viewers how that's shaking out.
And then also, if I may, Steve, to explain the prime minister's comments last night, I think it depends on your definition of war.
If we're talking about ending the war with Gaza, I think the president is saying that's over.
But you've still got, as far as Israel is concerned, you've got the Houthis.
You've got some dangerous elements in Syria.
It looks like Lebanon could go into civil war if they can't get Hezbollah disarmed.
So there's a lot of other fronts happening at the same time, and I think that's what the prime minister was referring to last night.
Yeah, but I think the president's referring to that too.
The president's going this afternoon to meet with the Arabs in the Muslim world, and he's calling it a Middle East peace.
