Just to give a broader sense of how this is landing with the Israeli public, not just the political class, we can put B3 up on the screen.
These were some Telegram comments that were pulled by Middle Eastern analyst Sina Tusi.
Among some of the choice quotes here from ordinary Israelis on Telegram, God will curse Trump.
The first war in Israel's history that we lost.
We have to admit the facts.
Iranians taught America a lesson.
I think that's probably true.
Hopefully in 10 years, we won't be dependent on American idiots.
And then to turn to the American domestic political context, because we have plenty of influential pundits in our own country who seem to be.
put the interests of Israel above virtually anything else, one of them being Mark Levin, who has been very influential with the White House.
Trump has tweeted out multiple times, hey, you got to watch what this guy Mark Levin is saying because he's right on target.
Let's go and take a listen here to B1 and his immediate reaction last night to what we knew of the deal.
Let's also put Lindsey Graham up on the screen because I thought his response was also very interesting.
You know, in the American political context, Jeremy, mostly I've seen the neocons sort of reluctant to directly really criticize Trump, especially since the American side has not released all of the details of the deal from their perspective.
So in any case, Lindsey Graham here says, I'm pleased to hear the memorandum of understanding with Iran to allow the Strait of Hormuz to open has been agreed to.
I'll be watching closely the ensuing negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program and other matters.
I'm somewhat concerned that Iran's view of the agreement seems different than what the American negotiating team is claiming.
Under our law, any nuclear deal with Iran will be sent to Congress for review and a vote.
So Congress didn't get a say on going to war, but apparently peace will.
Congress has to approve.
