Witkopf said, he ridiculed it, he said it was a posture, it was a pose, there was simplistic desire to sound like Winston Churchill. But bearing in mind the realities of European military weakness compared to the US, actually, do you think he's right?

And he actually went on to speak somewhat disparagingly of Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff's grasp of the facts of what the war is going on in Ukraine in general. He said that the Americans were parroting, he didn't use that word, but certainly repeating war. Kremlin talking points far too easily. But he said that Steve Witkoff actually was an expert at selling real estate.

He was not an expert at trying to work out the way that the war went there. Now, considering that he is Trump's lead envoy, not just on Ukraine, but on the Middle East as well, it is a sign that Zelensky, while he's saying the kinds of things the Americans want to hear and Trump wants to hear, he's not trying to disguise the fact.

There's two reasons which are being put forth by the two different camps in Israel. The one is by Netanyahu whose reason for saying he wants to fire the head of the Shin Bet is that he doesn't trust him anymore, meaning he has no faith in his ability to do the job. And on the other side,

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...
