00:00Could we possibly see ceasefire talks emerge once again between Israel and Hamas?
00:09Frankly, I doubt it. I think that Prime Minister Netanyahu has set his course in Gaza.
00:18It is a unilateral course. He's not looking for new negotiations.
00:23He's not looking for new agreements with Hamas. He wants to destroy Hamas, and he's set about to do that.
00:27And so I think that the U.S. has largely decoupled its policy in Palestine from its policy in the Middle East and with Saudi Arabia in particular.
00:41So I'm not looking for that. But I think overall, the atmosphere is a good one.
00:48The situation with Iran right now, Iran has been greatly weakened, as we know.
00:53Its so-called proxies in the Middle East have also been weakened.
00:56And so that makes it easier for the U.S. to reach some sort of a nuclear deal.
01:03And that is a deal which Saudi Arabia would very much be in favor of, at least at the current juncture.
