  • Grateful for Trump’s peace efforts but insists on "America First."
  • "I'm, at this point, I'm America only... I pray for peace for all of them. But what I want to see for America is I want to see us have really great trade deals so that we can have a strong economy... It's the American people's turn." ([13:37])

• Eli Levy (Israeli Gov’t Spokesman):

  • Warns that real peace depends on outside pressure forcing Hamas to demilitarize.
