00:00Will this meeting actually benefit Netanyahu and the political turmoil he faces at home
00:06and globally, do you think, Fleur? Will this be a changing point for him?
00:11That's a great question because Netanyahu really politically is in a little bit of hot
00:17water, I wouldn't say too much. There are parts of his party, one of the coalition partners
00:23who already left the coalition because they were against the deal, they were against the
00:27hundreds of terrorists with blood on their hands being released into freedom and so he
00:34does experience some type of opposition but the truth is that the majority of the Israeli
00:39public want to see the hostages home and that is what we're looking at and also which President
00:47Trump luckily has mentioned enough times, we want to see the beginning of the end of
00:52the rule of Hamas in the Gaza Strip and as you've seen in the last few weeks with the
00:57hostage releases, it doesn't mean that they've let go of any of their power and this is something
01:02very, very serious and significant to talk about because otherwise, if they don't leave
01:08Gaza as the main rulers, then Israel faces an existential threat from Hamas in its southern
01:15borders and we can't have that.
