00:00Tyler, what can you tell us about this latest announcement?

00:04Yeah, hey, Scarlett, well, you hit the headline there. We got in this post on X from the Israeli

00:08Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructing his military to immediately carry out what he

00:13called, quote, powerful strikes in the Gaza Strip. This marks the latest testing point for this U.S.

00:19brokered ceasefire deal in the region. The announcement was made shortly after Israel

00:23said Hamas had opened fire at Israeli forces in southern Gaza, and Israel contends that Hamas

00:29has been violating the agreement after it has failed to return all the remaining bodies of

00:34the hostages still in Gaza. 13 are believed to still be in Hamas's custody here, as Hamas has

00:42contended that they are having difficulty locating the remaining remains of these bodies due to

00:47Israeli destruction in the region. There are still big questions here about what this is going to

00:52mean when it comes to the ceasefire going forward here. Big questions that we've been trying to

00:56answer, including what the reconstruction of Gaza is going to look like and whether or not Hamas

01:00will fully disarm Scarlett. This comes right after we just saw high-ranking U.S. officials in the

01:06region. Vice President J.D. Vance was there just last week telling Israeli counterparts that he knows

01:13there's still a lot of work to be done, but of course they are hoping this ceasefire holds. He was,

01:18as you well know, accompanied by those chief negotiators in this process, Special Envoy Steve

01:23Wyckoff and the president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. And when this headlight came out,

01:27we should mention that the Israeli shekel lost ground versus the dollar. The dollar now up two

01:32tenths of one percent versus that currency. Tyler, before we let you go, I know it's been a long day

01:37for you, a long evening for you. Give us the latest here as the president wrapped up his meetings with

01:43the prime minister of Japan, the new prime minister, and dined with business leaders, including those from

01:48the U.S. Well, Scarlett, the underlying theme of today was a bolstering in the U.S.-Japanese

01:55alliance, but also a bid to counter China. If we look at all of the headlines that we got

02:00out of President Trump's expanded bilateral meeting with the new Japanese prime minister,

02:04it included Japan pledging to President Trump that it will boost U.S. military supply imports

02:09into the country. They signed a critical minerals deal, as well as a memorandum of understanding when

02:14it comes to shipbuilding, all in a bid to counter China's grip when it comes to the market. We did

02:19get some more information, though, however, when it comes to Japan's planned investments in the U.S.

02:25This has been a critical point that we've been waiting for details on. President Trump, as you

02:29mentioned, hosting this reception with business leaders here, calling out his personal relationship

02:33with many of them. But all of them, that main theme, all of those executives in the room today

02:38represent those critical sectors, including energy, artificial intelligence, car manufacturing,

02:43all those areas, Scarlett, that the U.S. has said they would like to focus on in a bid to counter China.
