And this, governor, christie, hamas official it says they are open to discussions over a truce with israel. That crossing right now. How should that be interpreted and treated considering we are about to hear from Benjamin Netanyahu who says, we will not negotiate. No, look.

People who know him, who are new yorkers. And are much more fluent in the language of trump than in the ways of washington. Were going to talk much more about that.

And hed been we were seeing him sidelined
