Hier war die USA, der größte Einzelhändler und Armhändler der Ukraine, sitzend mit ihrem Freundeskrieg. Danach hat die US-Delegation, die von Mr. Rubio geführt wurde, die Diskussionen als aufgeregt beschrieben.

Die Amerikaner sagten, dass sie vier Prinzipien mit den Russen verabschiedeten, die Gespräche zwischen den Delegationen, die breiteren diplomatischen Verbindungen, die Teams ermöglichen, auf einem Weg zu arbeiten, um den Krieg in der Ukraine zu beenden, and then what the US called historic economic and investment opportunities with Russia. But what of any concessions being demanded of Moscow?

Mr Rubio wouldn't set any out to reporters after the meeting, saying only that it would be a matter for future talks. Mr Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister, made clear European peacekeeping forces were out of the question.

Pressed on why the US wasn't laying down conditions for Moscow in order to agree a durable peace, Mr Rubio said the two sides would only agree to ending the war on terms they were each happy with. But today's events have so far done little to allay the biggest fears in Ukraine, of being forced to accept and enter the war on Russia's terms, with the peace being carved up.

Well, I thought it was particularly striking that after what was a more than three hour long discussion between Mr Netanyahu and Marco Rubio, the language the Israeli prime minister used absolutely echoed that of Donald Trump. He talks about the gates of hell opening if Hamas didn't release all of the hostages.

Now, this has been a line almost word for word that Mr. Trump has used when he gave that very dramatic ultimatum earlier in the last week. If all the hostages weren't released and he gave a noon Saturday deadline, then there would be hell to pay or all hell would break loose. He said now that obviously didn't happen. All the hostages weren't released.

It was the process, the current ceasefire hostage release process that was ultimately stuck to Mr. Trump effectively took that as a negotiating win. that he believed he had got the process back on track after Hamas, in his view, threatened to derail it. But we're now seeing this very, very strong rhetoric from both the Israeli leader and the American president. So the question then is...

is raised. Is this a change of tack from the Israelis and the Americans to try to effectively redraw the current phased ceasefire and hostage release process? Or is this simply rhetoric to sort of dial up the pressure on Hamas?

And I think we have to wait to see what comes out of what you just mentioned, Mr Netanyahu saying that, you know, he's engaging in talks around the first phase of the process itself now, and whether they will really stick to the desire to move forward to a second phase.

Well, what we have seen over the last week, particularly with a visit by King Abdullah of Jordan to Washington, is I think the Arab nation scrambling to try to come up with their own version of a plan for the future of Gaza. And that is because, as you say, Donald Trump has said that he wants the U.S. to take possession of Gaza after its Palestinian population has been emptied from the Gaza Strip.
