00:00I think when the president of the United States needs to declare it so publicly, I suspect he doesn't really
00:06believe in it in all cases.
00:07I mean, in principle, it should be the case like this, considering the dependency of Israel, especially at a time
00:15of war on the United States.
00:18But Israel still is an independent country.
00:20It can take its own decision, but also face the price if it upsets the United States or any other
00:30ally.
00:31I think we need to understand there is no friendship between Trump and Netanyahu because there are two, in a
00:37way, similar characters in terms that their relationships are always transactional.
00:42As long as they serve each other's interest, there is some sort of, at least on the surface, friendship.
00:48The minute they don't serve each other's interest, this is done and finished.
00:53And that's what we see.
00:54And, you know, it's also relatively volatile characters there.
00:59We see it's enough to look at one of the interviews over the weekend of President Trump.
01:05So in this case, if they won't serve each other's interest, they will always prefer not only their country's interest,
01:12but their own political interest.
01:14And I think that's where the danger of creating tension.
01:18I think from Israel's point of view, it's very, very dangerous because the tide within, not only the immediate one
01:24with Trump and the mega movement, I think there is the tide is going against Israel in many segments of
01:32the American society.
01:33And this can never be good for Israel.
