00:00In international news, the U.S. and Iran still at odds on a peace deal after President Trump scrapped his
00:06envoy's trip for a new round of talks in Pakistan.
00:09Fox Business correspondent Ashley Webster has the latest live from Tel Aviv, Israel.
00:14Okay, Ashley. Trump cancels envoy's Pakistan peace talks trip. What happened in Israel right now? Ashley?
00:23Yes. Good evening, John. The stalemate between the two countries now in an awkward limbo, which it has been for
00:31several weeks now.
00:33There were potential plans for a second round of peace talks this weekend in Pakistan.
00:38But that was dashed when Iran's foreign minister took off for a flight to Oman, prompting the president to cancel
00:45envoy's trip of Jared Kushner and Steve Wyckoff.
00:49The president calling it simply a waste of time, he said, but also...
00:54Yes, the president said waste of time, 18 hours of flight to go and come back and blah, blah, blah,
01:00a few days and all.
01:02We have a best quality telephones and mobile phones. They can call them and we are not going to do
01:1118-hour bullshit.
01:13So added that Iran can call him at any time.
01:16One of the biggest sticking points as it stands is Iran is demanding the U.S. lift its naval blockade
01:22of the Strait of Hormuz before it even will negotiate.
01:27Well, the president is not willing to do that.
01:29And the United States believing that Iran's economy is edging ever closer to collapse, which in the end will bring
01:36Tehran back to the table.
01:38Meantime, on another front, a 19-year-old IDF soldier was killed.
01:42Damn, 19 years old? Dude, what was his age? I am like 24 right now and he is just 19.
01:51Dude, this is bad what is happening with them.
01:55...were injured in fighting with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, both sides accusing the other of violating a ceasefire.
02:04Earlier today, Israel's Prime Minister says the IDF will do whatever it takes to take out terrorists. Take a listen.
02:12Okay.
02:13In the last two weeks, we have eliminated 46 terrorists.
02:1646 terrorists are eliminated. Damn, bro.
02:19And you heard about he got prostate cancer. Damn, even cancer died and he is alive.
02:26Prostate cancer he got.
02:29And we will act with a strong hand and an outstretched arm because we are not willing to accept this
02:34lawlessness.
02:34We will do what is necessary to restore security to the north.
02:39Okay.
02:40And one final note, John, Prime Minister Netanyahu expressing his relief that after the shooting at the dinner last night,
02:47the president, the first lady, and everyone else emerged unscathed. Back to you.
02:53Ashley Webster. Ashley, thanks.
02:55Thank you, Ashley. Good news we got from there in Israel, right?
