=== Trump Held Hostage by Netanyahu (01:02) ===

[00:00:00]  You said he's a hostage just now.
[00:00:03]  You told the BBC he's a slave to foreign interests.
[00:00:05]  Correct.
[00:00:07]  So I just want to ask you to be sort of explicit.
[00:00:08]  I mean, Trump is being held hostage by whom?
[00:00:12]  By Benjamin Netanyahu and by his many advocates in the United States.
[00:00:17]  And we know that not simply because Trump started the war on February 28th, but because he couldn't get out of it.
[00:00:22]  He declares, we're having a ceasefire.
[00:00:23]  This was three weeks in, four weeks in.
[00:00:26]  He says, we're having a ceasefire and we're having these talks and they're going great and we're going to open the straight.
[00:00:34]  And Iran says, yeah, one of our conditions is Israel's got to pull back from southern Lebanon.
[00:00:38]  You can't use the Iran war as a pretext for stealing more land from a sovereign country.
[00:00:44]  That's not your country.
[00:00:45]  Like, no.
[00:00:47]  And which, it's not just Iran who felt that way.
[00:00:50]  I think the rest of the world's like, what are you doing?
[00:00:51]  I thought we were, you know, fighting the great existential threat, Iran.
[00:00:55]  And now you're taking the opportunity to take Lebanon's shore to Latani River and bombing downtown Beirut.
[00:01:00]  Like, what is this?
[00:01:01]  Anyway, this was all very well known.
