And the Israelis are utterly panicking.

And people who don't share the perspective that I have, that the Israelis are asking for way too much, that the Israelis are trying to dominate our politics, that the Israelis will never stop if we don't stop them, frankly, they act like this came out of a void, this came out of nothing.

It's not terribly great for the United States that all we are talking about is a foreign country's problem.

I think we're going to get a deal this weekend, base case.

I put it over 50%.

The president is excited about this.

And I think the reality is that Hamas, it can't be two things at once.

I think we will have something inked base case.

I don't rule out that the Israelis could sabotage it before 6 p.m.

on Sunday, but I think it is at this point unlikely because of how publicly happy President Trump is with the results here.
