Told @esaagar & @krystalball that it remains unclear whether Trump's openness to talks with Iran is about real diplomacy (ie a workable give-and-take) or whether he is only looking to discuss the terms of Iran's capitulation (which won't work).

Witkoff mentions Netanyahu and the Israeli crowd won't stop booing.

If only Western media had reported that many Israelis blame the prolonged suffering of the hostages on Netanyahu.

Instead, they have uncritically parroted the false line that Netanyahu continued the war TO GET THE HOSTAGES HOME.

This is why those banking on the Israeli "opposition" convince very few...

Yair Lapid, head of Israel's opposition:

"Those who demonstrated against Israel in London, Rome, Paris... were deceived by propaganda... The truth is, there was no genocide, no intentional starvation."

Told @abc that for Trump's plan to work, he has to break with the pattern of the past and SUSTAIN pressure on Israel. We cannot wait to see if Israel will uphold its end of the deal - Trump needs to use US leverage to make sure that they do. But will he?
