And a lot of that is just, this is sclerotic Arab world thinking dating back to the 1950s, where every Arab state basically said, we are not taking in Palestinians. We want them to stay where they are, even if it means that they stay there in misery, to make them living symbols of the Arab world's opposition to Israel.

This is some seriously demented thinking that has brought us inexorably to where we are today. In other words, it kept the entire region on a war footing because they insisted on keeping this misery at a high level. This has to end, and I actually think that Egypt should play a role here. I think you mentioned before that Qataris should take in some of these refugees.

I think the Turks, who are also sponsors of Hamas, they should take in refugees. The Iranians should. The Malaysians should. Every one of these patrons of Hamas should be forced to take in, I don't know, a half million, a quarter million, whatever it is, to pay penance for the war that they helped to create.

I think that's where the Arabs wanted to head. I think the Israelis have another idea. I think Trump doesn't really care which one prevails as long as a deal gets done. And so let's see. Let's see what kinds of creativity gets kind of injected into the equation here. And I do think creativity is going to be what's important. The Arabs are not terribly creative here.

I think Trump is more than happy to be creative. The Israelis just don't want to be saddled with this burden alone. They don't want to pay for this. And they certainly don't want to allow for Hamas to stay. I think they'd be fine with letting all these other people stay as long as they're not culpable. that they're not responsible for what happens to them.

And as long as things get rebuilt in such a way that keeps Israel safe for whatever happens next. And I think that's, you got to understand that's Israel's big motivator here. This isn't, it's never been about collective punishment. It's never been about anything other than getting Hamas out of there so that Israel knows that it can live

You know, it's actually pretty simple. The Israelis have offered six weeks of additional calm. They basically said, look, we just started Ramadan. You want quiet, you want food, you want medicine, you want, you know, all the things that you want to keep your population happy. We want that too. Just keep quiet. And then after that, give us two more weeks of quiet until the end of Passover.
