Look, it's not. But I'm going to just tell you flat out, I don't think the Israelis are going anywhere anytime soon. What they need to find is they need to find new political leadership in Gaza. And we just don't see it. I mean, I'm hard pressed to find anyone within the PLO that has the respect of the Israeli leadership right now.

So the Palestinian Authority, that interim government that has not been performing wonderfully in the West Bank, I don't see them coming in. I don't see the Saudis or the Emiratis lining up, raising their hands, saying, hey, we want to spend time in Gaza. We want to spend billions of dollars in rebuilding Gaza. You're not seeing that either.

So I think as long as we have that absence of leadership and real no vision for what comes next, I think the Israelis are going to have to stay there. And I got to tell you also, I don't think the Israelis are too unhappy about the idea of leaving Gaza, maybe in a little bit of a state of flux for a time, as a message to everyone. Here's what happens when you murder 1,200 Israelis.

Here's what happens when you kidnap 250 plus Israelis. You don't just get, you know, billions of dollars in blank checks from the international community. You just don't get to rebuild after 14 months. They're going to stay there, they're going to ensure that there's security, and they're going to rebuild things, I think, on their own terms. I think in perpetuity is not a good idea.

I think that spending the time to make sure that they got the right ingredients and that Hamas has really been snuffed out after a hostage swap has been made, that does seem like something that would be realistic. You're not going to hear people cheering about it from Europe. You're not going to hear the UN saying this is a great thing.
