Inside of the aisle, there are the opposition parties and other critics who are saying that there's a very serious investigation against aides to Prime Minister Netanyahu about their connections to Qatar during a time of war when Qatar has close ties to Hamas. Those aides are suspected of being involved in efforts to improve Qatar's image in Israel.

And that therefore the shin bed is involved in this investigation into those ties within the prime minister's office. And therefore that that's the reason why Netanyahu was moving against one end bar at this time. You know, that's that's that's the two reasons that we're being presented with at the moment.

Well, you know, according to the law, it is actually the government, as in the cabinet, which is entitled to appoint and dismiss the head of the Shin Bet. The attorney general, you know, she is the ultimate arbiter for the government of what is legal, what is a legal government action.

And she's saying that Israeli law and precedent in the courts means that the government can't just fire a senior official like the head of the Shin Bet at will. It has to provide a substantive precedent. reason to do so. And she's saying first, the government needs to provide that reason to her before she can say whether or not she believes that's a legal and lawful decision.

What is actually going on right now is the worst crisis in transatlantic relations since the alliance between the US and Europe was created after and during the Second World War. It is absolutely that serious because essentially this suspension of aid has put the US on the other side to its major NATO allies. All the American pressure has been on Zelensky.

Putin's position has not changed because what he has been demanding consistently since the full-scale invasion and before is effectively for Ukraine a capitulation. If you look at what Trump and his people say... It's America first.

America first is emerging as an idea which essentially treats the rest of the world as raw material for American business deals, for American supremacy, for America trying to extract as much money, including from their allies. And the implications of that, while Trump is in the White House...

The rest of us really are, I think, in his mind, an adjunct to try to make America as rich and powerful as possible, which is one reason why. And this, I think, even, you know, for the British as well, they would say that it leaves a sour taste. They are saying to Zelensky, you have to go back and talk to Trump and sign that deal.

Telling President Zelensky again that it's not important for him to be in the room when the U.S. talks with Russia about ending the war reinforces the already strong impression that Donald Trump believes the world's problems can only be settled by powerful leaders of big countries, like it or lump it. Mr. Trump has posted an image of himself on social media as a king wearing a crown.

Perhaps it's a joke, but his anger when he's challenged publicly is real. He does not like the fact that President Zelensky has pushed back hard against Mr. Trump's untrue allegations that Ukraine started the war and could have ended it by now. It is now hard to see daylight between Donald Trump's view of Ukraine and Vladimir Putin's.

In the presidential offices in Kiev, I asked one of Mr. Zelensky's top advisors, Ihor Brusilo, about the way Mr. Trump has demolished the old certainties about U.S. support for Ukraine.
