takes the off ramp, which, you know, kind of not America's business that they're welcome to.

And then on the other side, this sort of emerging eminence Greece of the Iranians, this person, Laranjani, the Ayatollah's, the Supreme Leader's national security advisor, effectively, has been all over jet setting.

He's in Doha, Qatar today, negotiating with various counterparts.

We appear to be at the 11th hour of a potentially new war or a new deal entirely.

And the range of outcomes is extraordinary.

No, I mean, it's a high-stakes meeting.

I think Netanyahu will do whatever it takes to remain in the room and not on the menu.

And I think humoring the president's goal of redeveloping Gaza, which I think remains basically a moonshot that's not going to happen during Trump's remaining time in office, is a small price to pay for Netanyahu.

What he really wants, as you allude to, is the Greater Israel Project.

He wants U.S.

force of arms and U.S.,

grandeur and power to be used to flatten all of Israel's foes in the Muslim world on behalf of Israel.

I mean, it's a fairly ambitious, frankly, and garish request.

But Netanyahu has gotten this far and it has been the

linchpin of his political career ever since he rose to the prime ministership for the first time in the 90s.

He's had tight alliances with U.S.

neoconservatives and Republican hawks, and he's trying to reach the holy grail right now, which is regime change in Iran.

Look, Trump has got to stiff the Republican old guard.

I mean, it is that or he is going to be a repetition of Republican presidents of the past.

As you can tell and as you just discussed, the base case for the Senate GOP hawks is they want to do two things, cut taxes and bomb the Middle East.
