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.

It is not at all clear that the meeting will happen, at least not until President Zelensky accepts some of Mr Trump's demands. One is a deal said to give the U.S. control of up to half of Ukraine's rare earth minerals. Mr. Trump's national security adviser, Mike Waltz, said the Ukrainian president would have to sign.
