• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I normally do not respond positively to the way President
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Trump speaks about and two people, but a little part
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: of me understood the way. The President allegedly spoke to
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Israeli Prime Minister Netna who in a phone call yesterday.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: On his social media page, it was all very polite,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: which is kind of unusual, with Trump saying he had
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: had a very productive call with Prime Minister Bibbing Netanyahu
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: of Israel. And there will be no troops going back
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to Beirut, and any troops that are on their way
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: have already turned back. However, a US news outlet in
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the UK's The Telegraph both reported sources who claimed Trump
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: ripshreads off. Baby, you're bleep crazy. You'd be in prison
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: if it weren't for me. The US President allegedly said,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: referring to Netanyahu's corruption trial, I'm saving your ask. Everybody
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: hates you, Everybody hates Israel because of this. It's like
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: something in here on a reality show like Love Island,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: an unadulterated release of frustration. It's been just over three
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: months since Operation Fury was launched, just under two months
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: of cease fire and negotiations. Everyone is over the price
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: of fuel, Trump's approved ratings are tanking, so when oil
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: prices surged this week again after Iran and Iran announced
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it would seek a complete closure of the Strait of
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Hormuz in reaction to Israel's military actions in Lebanon, Trump
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: clearly decided to just say it like it is. Benjamin
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Nehnyah who played a significant role in drawing Donald Trump
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: into the war with Iran by convincing him that military
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: action could quickly weaken Tehran, halt its nuclear ambitions, and
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: potentially destabilize the Uranian regime. But for all that Trump
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: is responsible for the situation that the US find themselves in,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: he is responsible for US policy, regardless of any outside influence.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: But as Trump tries to face tries to find a
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: face saving exit from this conflict, Nettniak, who is keen
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to keep the pressure on making it harder for Trump
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to end this war. Netnia, who is concerned an early
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: settlement could leave Iran's government intact and capable of rebuilding
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: its military and nuclear infrastructure. From this perspective, a ceasefire
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: without major strategic gain would risk leaving Israel in a
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: worse security position than before the conflict began. Continued American
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: involvement also provides Israel with military, diplomatic, and political support
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: that it could not easily replace on its own. But
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: if this expective leyden Call suggests anything, it's that Trump's
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: patience is wearing thin and that he has become increasingly
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: frustrated with actions by the Israeli Prime Minister that are
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: undermining US efforts to de escalate the wider conflict and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: pursue negotiations with Iran. Benjamin took notice with Israel calling
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: off planned strikes in Lebanon against Hezbollah. But he's given
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: a man who has but given he is a man
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: whose career is built around opposing Tehran. Who knows how
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: long this will last? For more Familily edition with Ryan Bridge,
