00:00One of the clauses in the 20-point plan refers to an eventual pathway to a Palestinian state,

00:07and then we heard Prime Minister Netanyahu saying, well, that's never going to happen.

00:11So hasn't he essentially rejected part of the plan before Hamas has even had a chance to respond to it?

00:17I mean, why is that not interpreted as a rejection?

00:22So Netanyahu is a master communicator, right?

00:26He says yes to Donald Trump, he shakes hands, he does the press conference with him,

00:30and then he goes out immediately, right, and does video in Hebrew.

00:35So he does one thing in English and another thing in Hebrew.

00:38He does this video where he brags about Israel's minimal withdrawal, no to a Palestinian state,

00:43even though it's written in the deal.

00:45His cabinet secretary tweeted out that Palestinians will never fulfill the requirements of statehood.

00:52Smotrich tweeted out that he hopes Hamas refuses the deal.

00:55So Israel can return to, you know, attacking Gaza with broader international legitimacy.

01:01So it's kind of, it's amazing that, you know, the ecosystem allows Prime Minister Netanyahu to get away with this.

01:10And, you know, what's amazing also is that, you know, Israelis themselves see right through this.

01:17If you looked at the Israeli press, even hours after the Trump Netanyahu press conference,

01:23they were the ones first reporting that Netanyahu plans to never actually implement and go through with any of this.
