00:00I think if the United States and Israel are looking at the balance, at the bottom line of what they
00:06hope to accomplish and what has in fact been accomplished, then the result is negative, not very persuasive.
00:13I think that for both President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, this is a failure. Both are facing elections. Trump,
00:24the November elections and Netanyahu, the end of October, Israeli parliamentary elections.
00:31And both feel that this is going to reflect badly, not just on their historic record, but in more immediate
00:38terms about the challenges that they are facing in the near future.
00:45So they look differently at the stakes as they are now.
