Again, I don't have access to the intelligence, and we're talking at a very early stage in this conflict, so a lot could happen even by the time this is published.

But

But my hope is that they'll just stay very focused on what the objective is and try to make sure that they're acting appropriately in order to do that.

And I will say this too, that this has been different than what I've seen in the past in that the attacks were so heinous and so disgusting that I've seen the international community rally around Israel

more so than I ever have.

And I hope that Israel continues to keep the moral high ground and continue to communicate what they're fighting for, why they're fighting.

And I do hope that the international community supports the objective and they can work together to achieve it.

Bibi is definitely a historic figure.

I meet with a lot of different world leaders, and some of them, I would say, they're very, very special transformational figures.

And some, I would say, how the hell is this person running a country?

And Bibi is somebody who has done a lot for the state of Israel.

He has a tremendous understanding of the security apparatus.

He has tremendous global relations with

So for a crisis like this, I think Bibi's the leader you want, if you're Israel, to be in that seat.

I think he's ambitious in what he's going to look to achieve.

He understands his role in history as somebody who's helped strengthen Israel economically, militarily.

And I don't think he wants to see his legacy destroyed.

be somebody who left israel more vulnerable than it had to be so i think in that regard he'll be incredibly strong but i also think that he'll hopefully be calculating in the risk that he takes and not create more risk than is needed and that's easy to say you know the two of us sitting here having a conversation when you're sitting in that chair as a leader

um in the fog of war it's a very very um it's a very hard decision to make he's been here before he um he he knows the weight of the situation i'm sure he knows the moment and i pray that uh that he'll do uh what's right here to bring the best outcome possible

On the one hand, the political turmoil is a sign of a vibrant democracy.
