1
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Good morning. I'm John Tucker and.

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today.

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: We begin with developments in the Mid East. The US

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: military launched strikes on three installations in Iraq over the weekend,

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: targeting what it says is a terrorist group backed by Iran.

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: Washington's accusing the group of engaging in a series of

7
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: attacks that injured American personnel. Late Monday, US Central Command

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: released a statement saying the air strikes appeared to kill

9
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: a number of Hensblah militants and Irans as a member

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: of its armed forces was also killed. Meanwhile, Iran saying

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: an Israeli airstrike in Syria killed a senior commander of

12
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: its Revolutionary Guard, and Iran's president promising Israel will pay

13
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: a price for the action. The Lebanese militant group HESBLA

14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,639
Speaker 1: is calling the strike an assassination that crosses a line.

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: Well in Israel, John pressure is growing on Prime Minister

16
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: Benjamin Natanyahu to shift his nation's approach, and it's more

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: with Hamas off and published in the Wall Street Journal Yesday, Natanya,

18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 2: Who's said, in order to achieve peace, Hamas must be destroyed.

19
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 2: In Palestinian society must be deradicalized. It comes on the

20
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: heels of the Biden administration continuing to back Israel's right

21
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 2: to defend itself, but it's calling on Israel to scale

22
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: back a large attacks and engage in more precise operations

23
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 2: to reduce the toll on Palestinian civilians. Allies of Israel

24
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: on Capitol Hill, like South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham, says

25
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: he blames civilian deaths on Hamas.

26
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 3: Israel is trying to mitigate casualties.

27
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 4: We need more humanitarian aid as long as it doesn't

28
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 4: go on to the hand of the hands of a mosque.

29
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: Republican Senator Lindsay Graham was speaking on ABC's This Week and.

30
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: The Hamas run Health Ministry says more than twenty thousand

31
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: people have been killed in Gaza since the wars started

32
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: in response to the October seventh terror attack in Israel,

33
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: Atlanta Councils Senior Fellow Carmel abittells Bloomberg. The pressure is

34
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: also growing on the Biden administration to encourage Israel to

35
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: change its policy.

36
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 5: The atrocities as we've seen them in Gaza are just agonizing,

37
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 5: and with that public opinion in the United States and

38
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 5: around the world is shifting, and pressure on Israel is

39
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 5: growing to, if not entirely end the war through a

40
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 5: permanency is fire, to at least pursue a temporary ceasefire,

41
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 5: and to move to the next phase of this war.

42
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: Carmiel Arvid with the Atlantic Council was speaking with our

43
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: Kaylee Lines on Bloomberg's Balance of Power. You can hear

Speaker 1: you download your podcasts.

46
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 2: Well back here in the US, john pressure continues to

47
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: mount on universities following testimony from earlier this month in

48
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 2: which the presidents of Harvard, MIT and the University of

49
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: Pennsylvania struggle to respond to questioning about how calling for

50
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: the genocide of Jews violates school policy. In the wake

51
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: of calls for the resignation of Harvard's president, Claudine Gay,

52
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: a growing number of faculty members are turning their focus

53
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: to the other eleven members of the powerful governing board

54
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 2: that runs a school. Some faculty are calling for members

55
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 2: of the Harvard Corporation, the university's board, to resign or apologize.

56
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: One professor even floated an idea to the Governor of

57
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: Massachusetts a new school governance structure that would give lawmakers

58
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: the chance to appoint a board member to represent the

59
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: public interest.

60
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: And we're also following Karen the geopolitical developments in Russia's

61
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: war with Ukraine. Russia says a warship that an eastern

62
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: Crimean port had been damaged in a Ukrainian missile strike,

63
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: and Ukraine wasn't just engaging in naval attacks. The New

Speaker 1: York Times reported this weekend that the Ukrainian military claiming

65
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: it shot down five Russian fighter jets in three days,

66
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: one of the biggest weekly losses for the Russian air

67
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: force since that war began.

68
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: Man John The New York Times is also reporting Russia

69
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: President Vladimir Putin could be thinking about a ceasefire. In

70
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: a recent address to his generals, he said Ukraine was

71
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: so belieaguered that Russia's invading troops were doing what we

72
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: want quote an unquote, But behind the scenes, sources tell

73
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: The Times Putin's signal through intermediary since at least September

74
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: that he's open to a ceasefire that would freeze fighting

75
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: along current lines.

76
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: And turning to politics here in the States, former President

77
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: Trump says he has absolute immunity having served as a

78
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: former president. Trump telling a federal appeals panel that he

79
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: should be granted immediately from prosecution with regard to his

80
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: efforts to overturn the twenty twenty election because he was

81
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: acting within the bounds of his official duties when he

82
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: took the actions. The appeals panel has said it will

83
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: hear the arguments. January eighth, Let's.

84
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: Go to markets now. John wall Street's returning to a

86
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: with a preview.

87
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 3: After eight weeks of gains for the S and P

88
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 3: five hundred index, there are questions as to whether the

89
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,679
Speaker 3: holiday chare will continue into twenty twenty four. Sarah Hunt

90
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: is chief market strategist at Alpine Woods Capital Investments.

91
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 4: I think that the biggest problems we're going to see

92
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 4: next next year are going to be around whether or

93
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,559
Speaker 4: not earnings and growth can really increase to the extent

94
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 4: that the market is expecting it to, because if it can't,

95
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 4: we're priced really well. We had a lot of multiple

96
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 4: expansion this year and not a lot of earnings growth.

97
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 4: We're pricing that in for next year.

98
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,239
Speaker 3: There are no scheduled S and P five hundred earnings

99
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,599

Speaker 3: York Charlie Bloomberg Radio, all.

102
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: Right, thanks Charlie. In corporate news this morning, sources tell

103
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: Bloomberg open Ais in early discussions to raise a fresh

104
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: round of funding at evaluation at or above one hundred

105
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: billion dollars, and Bloomberg's Dennis Pelagreeny joins US with that story.

106
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 6: Sources say investors potentially involved in the fundraising round have

107
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 6: already been included in preliminary discussions, and if the funding

108
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 6: round happens is planned, the creator of chet GPT would

109
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 6: be the second most valuable startup in the US, behind

110
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 6: only Elon Musk's SpaceX. Sources also say open Ai has

111
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 6: held discussions to raise funding for a new chip bench

112

Speaker 6: with Abu Dhabi based G forty two, and has discussed

113
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 6: raising up to ten billion dollars for that. It's unclear

114
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 6: whether the chips venture and the wider possible company funding

115
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 6: efforts were now hearing about our related Denise Pelygrindy Bloomberg Radio.

116
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 6: All right, Denise.

117
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,280

118
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 2: reporting Samsung has delayed mass production plans at its new

120
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: production would begin in twenty twenty five. Samsung previously said

121
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 2: the factory would star production in the second half of

122
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. Is another blow to the Biden administration's

123
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: ambition to increase domestic semiconductor supplies.

124
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Karen, and now for a look at

125
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: some of the other stories making news in New York

126
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: and around the world. And for that we're joined by

Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Scott car Scott. Good morning, Thanks John, Good morning.

128
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: Following a weekend of reportedly intense fighting between Israel and Hamas,

129
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: particularly in northern Gaza, where Israeli forced to say now

130
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: they've largely taken control, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahoo paid

131
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: a visit to IDF troops in the region Monday and

132
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: estimated seventy people were said to have been killed and

133
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: one Israeli strike in central Gaza. The Israeli military says

134
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: fifteen of its troops lost their lives over the weekend.

135
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: Federal officials are now calling for the opioid reversal drug

136
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: nalaksoone to be stocked in all government buildings. Recently, the

137
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: Department of Health and two Human Services has proposed all

138
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: federal buildings should be stocked with the drug, alongside automated

139
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: external defibrillators. It marks the first change in federal building

140
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: safety guidelines in nearly fifteen years. The US now has

141
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: new plans in place to target banks that facilitate payments

142
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: for Russia's military industrial complex. Bloomberg's Amy Morris has more

Speaker 1: from Washington.

144
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 7: President Biden is amending two executive orders that will for

145
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 7: the first time, allow the US to impose so called

146
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 7: secondary sanctions over the Ukraine War. US officials tell Bloomberg

147
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 7: that means banks could face severe financial penalties for doing

148
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 7: business with firms already sanctioned, whether they know it or not.

149
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 7: While many international banks no longer do business directly with Russia,

150
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 7: they can act as correspondent banks for financial institutions in

151
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 7: third countries that still do. In Washington, Amymoor as Bloomberg Radio, a.

Speaker 8: to ship in March it's called the Humane AI Pin,

154
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,880

155
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 8: to your clothes and interact with it. Former Apple worker

Speaker 8: new AI device.

158
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 9: There are no wakewords, so it's not always listening or

159
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 9: always recording. In fact, it doesn't do anything until you

160
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 9: engage with it, and your engagement comes through your touch, voice, gesture,

161
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 9: or the laser ink display.

162
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 8: The pins projectors designed to be able to send information

163
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 8: onto a user's hand.

164
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 9: We were able to pack a law of technology into

165
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 9: something really small. It runs a Qualcom snap Dragon chipset,

166
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 9: and that means it's really fast, which is crucial for AI.

167
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 8: A recent demo of the pin shows it doing everything

168
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,920

186
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 10: head coach Brian Davill didn't have much to say.

187
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 3: Give them credit.

188
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,600

207
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 11: Business app and Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak.

208
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: Good morning, I'm John Tucker. As you just heard the

209
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: US military launching Christmas Day strikes three installations in Iraq,

210
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: targeting what it said is a terrorist group backed by Iran.

211
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: Here to discuss that and what else is going on

212
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: on the Mideast, joining us from Dubai this morning Bloomberg

213
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: News Henry Meyer. Henry, thanks for being with us this morning.

214
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: What do we know about this US air strike and

215
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: the reasons behind it?

216
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 12: Good morning, John, Yes, I mean what we understand is

217
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 12: that the US military attacked three installations in Iraq yesterday,

218
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 12: targeting this group which is linked to Iran, and this

219
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 12: was in retaliation for an attack on a US base

220
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 12: in Iraq that wounded three servicemen. So, you know, I

221
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 12: think that this is a pattern which we've seen in

222
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 12: the past. Obviously, there have been in a series of

223
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 12: attacks in recent weeks on US military installations in both

224
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 12: Syria and Iraq which have met with American retaliation. But

225
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 12: you know what's interesting is that this happened on at

226
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 12: the same time as Israel is reported to have carried

227
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 12: out an airstrike in Syria which assassinated the top Iranian

228
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 12: revolutionary regards military advisor in the country. So, you know,

229
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 12: we see a sort of certain escalation which is taking place,

230
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 12: obviously in the context of the war in Gaza, and

231
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 12: this is sort of fanning concerns that there will be

232
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 12: other fronts that will open up in this war.

233
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, with respect to the US Christmas Day strikes in

234
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: Iraq is that directly tied to the war between Israel

235
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: and Hamas.

236
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 12: It's not directly tied. But what we've seen since October seventh,

237
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,359
Speaker 12: which is when you know, the war began in a Gaza,

238
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 12: that the number of attacks have increased on US basis

239
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 12: in the region. So definitely there has been you know,

240
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 12: a link between the two. So you know, I think

241
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 12: obviously what happened in Syria, I would argue, is much

242
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 12: more serious actually because we've seen this pattern of attacks

243
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 12: in Iraq and Syria on US basis and with you know,

244
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 12: retaliation that has been going on for several weeks. But

245
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 12: I would argue that the you know, the reporter at

246
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 12: Israeli operation to target this senior reigning commander in Syria

247
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 12: that could lead to a much bigger spiral of confrontation

248
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 12: in Iran has avowed to take revenge.

249
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: Henry, the Israeli Prime Minister Nittanya, who he was out

250
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: with an op ed piece. In it he delivers what

251
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: he says are prerequisites for peace with Hamas. What are

252
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: those conditions?

253
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 12: Well there, Primarily what he says is the demilitarization of Gaza,

254
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 12: and he said the the radicalization Palestinian society. I mean,

255
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 12: Israelis have been you know, quite very critical of the

256
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 12: Palatinian authority. What they say has been the refusal to

257
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 12: condemn the attacks October seventh on southern Israel, so you

258
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 12: know event and then the final condition is the establishment

259
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 12: of a buffer zone, which would be a sort of

260
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 12: security cordon to prevent such attacks taking place in the future.

261
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 12: You know, what that tells you is that the Israeli

262
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 12: war goals are still very ambitious, and you know, they're

263
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 12: not close to fulfilling them. And despite all the American

264
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 12: pressure which has been increasing to at least scale back

265
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 12: the operation, if not to end it in Gaza, we

266
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 12: can see from Nata Naho's statement here that you know,

267
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 12: they are determined to continue.

268
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: The Biden administration has pressed Israel to change the approach.

269
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: Is there any sign that is going to change just

270
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: about twenty seconds.

271
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 12: We don't know if that's going to happen, and we

272
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 12: know that there are talks that are going to take

273
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 12: place this week in Washington with a key advisor of Nittanyahu.

274
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 12: He will be discussing whether that can happen. But as

275
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 12: I said, the signals coming from Israel are still very

276
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 12: much that they will continue at the current rate of offensive.

277
