00:05Syed, do you have any confidence that a deal can be struck,

00:09that Israel will allow US to do a deal,

00:12that the US is interested in doing a deal

00:14if it goes against what Israel may want?

00:17How confident or otherwise are you?

00:22I really don't know because there is clear Israel

00:27has a huge influence in Washington.
