And just the last 24 hours should be seen as part of that attempt by the Iranians to say, look, you know, Lebanon has to be part of the peace deal.
We're not going to get any sort of sorting out of an extension of the ceasefire, the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, any kind of negotiated language over the nuclear issue and all the other stuff, the timing of that.
Unless there is a ceasefire in Lebanon too.
And the fact that the Iranians are making that linkage, the Americans are saying to the Israelis, look, just stop complicating things.
But at the moment, Netanyahu is not accepting that argument.
He is facing accusations from his political opponents that he is, you know, he is the tail being wagged by the American dog and that he is basically putting Israel's relationship with the United States ahead.
of defending people on the ground in Israel from Hezbollah rockets and also, as we've seen today, missiles from Iran.
That is a difficult position to be in for a, you know, so-called security leader in the run-up to an election that may or may not took place later on this year.
So there's tension there.
between how much does Netanyahu want to defy America, but how much does he want to kind of keep the Americans on side?
What's really interesting is that I've yet to see evidence that the Americans are using that tension very well.
At the moment, it's sort of expressions of frustration that things aren't happening, rather than actually...
you know, using some real leverage in that space.
I must consult my diary.
Please do, yes.

regal speech regal texts yeah I always like to do that because although you can watch them and that you've really got to watch them just to sort of hear and see the delivery but also you want to sometimes just go back and count how many times you mentioned NATO and how many jokes there were and things like that and I you know I'm just old-fashioned I'd like a bit of paper rather than constantly scrolling up it's not on vellum though is it
It's not on vellum, but you know, I forgot to bring my vellum notebook with me.
What's really interesting is the Congress speech is really hard because of the constant interruption.
Speeches are living, breathing things.
