00:00Shane, has Benjamin Netanyahu lost the plot?
00:04Yes, he definitely has.
00:05But I don't think he's going to be sitting at home worrying about what the Australian Prime Minister is thinking of him that far away.
00:11Oh, is it? Sorry.
00:11Sorry.
00:13But, yeah, well, either are.
00:15I don't think he's going to be worrying about that, essentially, to be honest.
00:18I think, yes, he has lost the plot.
00:21But I think the reason that he's lost the plot is because he's worried about his own domestic politics
00:25and his image in terms of his government and the coalition.
00:30So I think he's bringing out this sort of higher rhetoric to appeal to the right-wing elements of his coalition,
00:35which is what he has to do.
00:37And a lot of the time it does just come down to domestic politics when it comes to these warfare,
00:41as we've seen when you were talking about Zelensky in Ukraine.
00:44So I think we're going to see a lot more of this building up because a lot of the coalition partners have said
00:50that if he agrees to a ceasefire, then they'll pull out.
00:53And then where are we going to go from there if you've got sort of political turmoil within Israel itself?
00:58So has he lost the plot?
01:00Yes, but it's probably part of a domestic policy.
