WEBVTT - SPECIAL COVERAGE: Israel and Hezbollah Reach Ceasefire

0:00:02.440 --> 0:00:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Under the deal reached today, effective at four am tomorrow

0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:17.640
<v Speaker 2>local time, the fighting across the Celebanies Israeli border will end,

0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:22.760
<v Speaker 2>will end. This is designed to be a permanent cessation

0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:23.640
<v Speaker 2>of hostilities.

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:26.000
<v Speaker 3>What is left of.

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:29.080
<v Speaker 2>Hesbalah and another terrorist organization will not be allowed.

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>President Biden there in the Rose Garden at the White

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 1>House saying that Israel and Hesbela have agreed to a

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:40.479
<v Speaker 1>cease fire deal. Giving his remarks on the Middle East conflict,

0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:43.200
<v Speaker 1>he says this ceasefire deal will last for sixty days.

0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:45.879
<v Speaker 1>He also went on to say that the people of

0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Gaza also deserve a cease fire deal, and he says

0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:51.280
<v Speaker 1>the only way out for Hamas is to release those

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>hostages that have been held in captivity. So a big day,

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>and we certainly heard earlier in the day from Prime

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Minister Benjamin Notat in Yahoo said he would bring the

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 1>proposed ceasefire to a vote by his security cabinet.

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:07.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that ceasefire, Lebanon ceasefire begins at four am local time.

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.120
<v Speaker 4>For more, let's go to Bloomberg News. US National Security

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 4>Team Leader Nick Wadhams, who's standing by in Washington, DC. Nick,

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.119
<v Speaker 4>good to have you joining us on this breaking news.

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 4>Help us understand where exactly this ceasefire, what part of

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 4>the war the ceasefire effects, and what part of the

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 4>war is still continuing to be ongoing.

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.200
<v Speaker 5>So there are essentially two fronts to this war. There's

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 5>Israel's battle with Hamas and the Gaza Strip, and then

0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 5>resulting from that, after the attack by Hamas on October

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:37.199
<v Speaker 5>seventh that provoked the Israeli campaign in the Gaza Strip,

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:41.319
<v Speaker 5>you've seen increasingly intense fire between Hesbela and Israel, and

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 5>in recent weeks that essentially turned into a full blown

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:48.280
<v Speaker 5>war where you had Hesbelah launching missiles from Lebanon into Israel,

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 5>and you also had Israel widening the scope of a

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:55.200
<v Speaker 5>pretty devastating campaign against Hesbolah in Lebanon, taking out many

0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 5>of its top leaders and also striking targets in the

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:03.280
<v Speaker 5>heart of Bay Root, essentially turning that city essentially into

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 5>a war zone. So that was where the Biden administration

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 5>and others such as France, which was also a sort

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:13.120
<v Speaker 5>of handmade into this deal, found the prospect for an agreement,

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 5>and that's really where they focus. So what you see

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 5>today is the Biden administration getting that pause. Hopefully they

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 5>say it'll be much longer than a pause, It'll be

0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 5>a permanent ceasefire between Israel and Hesbalah. And then as

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 5>the President mentioned there, that would then in turn allow

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 5>for pressure to be put on Israel and Hamas to

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 5>get the much authority or agreement, which would be an

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 5>end to the violence in the Gaza strip. That's still

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 5>quite a long ways off, no indication that that would

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 5>be able to be completed by the end of Biden's

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 5>term and when President Elect Trump takes over.

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Nick safe to say that the Israel war in Lebanon

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.959
<v Speaker 1>and that was not very popular with the people of Israel.

0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 1>But I do wonder about bringing some kind of end

0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 1>to what's happening in Gaza. Is that as likely? Should

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 1>we assume that an end to that is just around

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:09.359
<v Speaker 1>the corner or these are two different fronts and two

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>different stories here.

0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.239
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean, that's We've had a lot of false

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 5>hopes over the months since October seventh, twenty twenty three,

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 5>when Hamas launched that attack on Israel, that we would

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 5>see something. There had been a very brief cease fire

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 5>at one point, but you know, The intractable problem there

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 5>is that Israel says it will not stop the fight

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:33.519
<v Speaker 5>in Gaza until Hamas no longer exists as a fighting force.

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 5>Hamas meanwhile says, even though it's in a vastly degraded state,

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 5>it says it will not end the fighting until Israel

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 5>with draw us from the Gaza strip. I mean, those

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 5>are two fundamentally oppositional goals, and so far the two

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 5>sides have found no way to be able to reconcile them.

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 5>You also, obviously have the fate of the Israeli hostages.

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 5>There's a dwindling number of those hostages, but there are

0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 5>many still be believed to be alive in Gaza. Israel

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.000
<v Speaker 5>wants the back Hamas does not want to give them

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 5>up because then it has no leverage essentially against Israel.

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 5>So a much thorny or much more intractable, intractable conflict,

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 5>And it looks like, you know, with the Biden administration

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 5>having less than two months in office, that's going to

0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.479
<v Speaker 5>be a very very big hill to climb for them

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 5>to be able to wrap that up.

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 4>So that's exactly where I wanted to end, Nick, is

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:28.279
<v Speaker 4>the idea of the incoming administration versus the Biden administration.

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 4>So what the Trump administration has said about the war,

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 4>the war's happening right now versus what the Biden administration

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.840
<v Speaker 4>has sat and tried to do and even today's development,

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.239
<v Speaker 4>How does that change when President elect Trump takes office

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:44.120
<v Speaker 4>on January twentieth.

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 5>Well, that's the question that is really front and center

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 5>for everyone, because President Elect Trump has essentially given some

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 5>pretty conflicting remarks on that, saying, on the one hand,

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 5>he believes that Israel should be allowed to finish the

0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 5>job so that too many people suggests step up paign

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 5>in the Gaza strip against Hamas. He's also said though,

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.559
<v Speaker 5>that he wants it to be wrapped up as quickly

0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:10.480
<v Speaker 5>as possible. So you could see a situation where Trump

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.920
<v Speaker 5>essentially puts more pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who

0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 5>gives him a free reign to do more of what

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 5>he wants, but less time to do it. He would

0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 5>have some more leverage over Netanyahu because of the relationship

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 5>between the two of them, Trump and net and Yao,

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 5>who have a much cozier relationship than Biden and net Yahoo,

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:34.039
<v Speaker 5>which was much more stand offish. So really difficult to

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.440
<v Speaker 5>know how that plays out, because of course Hamas has

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 5>a say here. They can keep up the fight themselves,

0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 5>but certainly President elect Trump has promised to bring this

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.720
<v Speaker 5>to a swift end. The challenge, though, of course, as

0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 5>I say, is his way of doing that is to

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 5>give Israel more of a free hand. So we'll have

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:52.160
<v Speaker 5>to see how that plays out.

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.679
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Nick, one last question, and let's just remind everybody

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the top headline off this story. President Bind just speaking

0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:00.760
<v Speaker 1>from the Rose Garden at the White House saying Israel

0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:04.599
<v Speaker 1>reached a ceasefire deal with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 1>after weeks of talks mediated excuse me, by the United States,

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.080
<v Speaker 1>and hailing this agreement as a major step to ending

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 1>a conflict that we know has killed thousands of people.

0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:15.840
<v Speaker 1>But it's not over yet. As we've been talking about

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.920
<v Speaker 1>what's going on in the Gaza strip, I am curious Nick,

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 1>the timing of this. I'm assuming president like Donald Trump,

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 1>is getting security briefs. Are we assuming that there's some

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.920
<v Speaker 1>conversations going on beyond between the president elect and the

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 1>current president. Maybe there was when they met at the

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 1>White House after Donald Trump was reelected. So I'm just

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.400
<v Speaker 1>curious what you are hearing behind the scenes when it

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 1>comes to what's going on bigger picture.

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:45.600
<v Speaker 5>Sure, I mean we know that the Trump, the incoming

0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:50.040
<v Speaker 5>Trump administration, the Trump transition team has been getting briefings. However,

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:52.720
<v Speaker 5>we do have one government at a time, and it

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:58.160
<v Speaker 5>is actually illegal for non government Americans to conduct foreign

0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:02.800
<v Speaker 5>policy ostensibly on the government's behalf or as a sort

0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 5>of government in waiting. That's not really something Trump can do. However,

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 5>what we do know is what we don't know the

0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 5>extent of any conversations between Biden and Trump. I'd suspect

0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.240
<v Speaker 5>they'd be quite limited. We do know there have been

0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 5>several conversations between Trump and Prime Minister Net and Yahoo,

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 5>and that's obviously the thing we're all trying to crack

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 5>what exactly they're saying to each other. What we've heard

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 5>from the Trump administration is it is not very detailed

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:32.560
<v Speaker 5>conversations that they're not really talking deep strategy or anything

0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:36.240
<v Speaker 5>like that. But you could imagine a scenario where Trump

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 5>is going to put pressure on net and Yahoo in

0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:42.160
<v Speaker 5>one way or another, either to wrap things up or

0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.080
<v Speaker 5>who knows. So that's really something that we're trying to crack.

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 5>We do know those conversations are going on all.

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Right, so appreciate it. Bloomberg News US National Security Team

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 1>leader Nick Wadams right there standing by with us. Khaleite

0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Alstein is Bloomberg News Economy and Government reporter. She's joining

0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 1>us on the phone from Tel Aviv Galt. Initial thoughts

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>on this news and what it means for the war

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:09.800
<v Speaker 1>in between Israel and yes, obviously with Hesbela, but also

0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 1>with Hamas.

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:16.600
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, goodnight from television, so obviously on Israel's more

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.280
<v Speaker 3>with Isabella. This is some sea fire that you just

0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 3>mentioned is about to go into effect four and a

0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 3>half hours according to the reports that we're hearing here,

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 3>and this will bring to an end a war that

0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:34.320
<v Speaker 3>and ongoing fire exchanges that have been going on between

0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:38.640
<v Speaker 3>Israel and Iran backs Isabella since October eighth and twenty

0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:43.200
<v Speaker 3>twenty three. So that will definitely be a big change

0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.360
<v Speaker 3>for in this situation that it has been ongoing for

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:53.200
<v Speaker 3>over over a year. One of Israel's achievements, officials here say,

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 3>is that by achieving this sea fire agreement, Israel has

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:02.040
<v Speaker 3>managed to disconnect the war with his ballad in Lebanon

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 3>from the war that is going on with Hamas in Gaza.

0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.079
<v Speaker 3>You know, this is something that Israel was unable to

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.319
<v Speaker 3>do for a very long time because his Bala leader,

0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:16.080
<v Speaker 3>Hassan Asada, which is well assassinated in late September, he

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:19.320
<v Speaker 3>made a very strong point of saying that the two

0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:23.560
<v Speaker 3>Arenas and the two armed fronts are connected. And ever

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:28.640
<v Speaker 3>since he was taken down by Israel and leadership in

0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:32.640
<v Speaker 3>his Balla changed. Israel has wanted to disconnect between the

0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 3>two arenas and it is now from from the Israeli perspective,

0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.920
<v Speaker 3>it has managed to do that. And now Israel is

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 3>hoping that when Hamas is left on its own secluded,

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.800
<v Speaker 3>you know which Isabella already part of a seafire deal,

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 3>it will put more pressure on Hamas to perhaps reach

0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 3>a ceasefire agreement with Israel in Gaza.

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:58.320
<v Speaker 4>Also relee where does Iran fall in all of this

0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:02.679
<v Speaker 4>and how does their role change as a result of

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:03.520
<v Speaker 4>this cease fire.

0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:08.800
<v Speaker 3>So reports we're hearing for starters are that Iran did

0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:13.720
<v Speaker 3>support and back there's some sea fire agreement between Chrisbella

0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:17.400
<v Speaker 3>and Israel. Otherwise it probably would not have been able

0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.360
<v Speaker 3>to move forward as as it has and as it

0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:24.520
<v Speaker 3>should tomorrow morning. So so that's one one thing to

0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 3>know about Iran. Now, Iran and Israel have been exchanging

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.920
<v Speaker 3>fire for for several months now. Every every few months,

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 3>Iran has been attacking as well, ballistically solves as well

0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:42.640
<v Speaker 3>has retaliated recently in an attack of its own. Iran

0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:47.440
<v Speaker 3>has has now seemed to kind of take a step

0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 3>back and its intentions to once again retaliate against as

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:54.920
<v Speaker 3>well and see what the Trump administration is going to

0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:59.760
<v Speaker 3>look like for them, for Iran and perhaps some negotiating

0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.320
<v Speaker 3>new nuclear deal with you know, with the US and

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:07.240
<v Speaker 3>other nations. So Iran it's kind of looks like now

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 3>like it's sitting on the fence. It is noteworthy that

0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:14.240
<v Speaker 3>Benjamin Attemao, when he was giving a televis statement this

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 3>evening just ahead of the of the Cabinet of the

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 3>Israeli cabinets approval of the ceasefire agreement, he did mention

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 3>that one of the reasons for Israel to want to

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.240
<v Speaker 3>achieve a ceasefire, which isabelle at this time, is that

0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 3>it can focus on the Iranian threat. And he said

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:34.520
<v Speaker 3>he would not elaborate on what this means, but he

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:38.439
<v Speaker 3>was obviously, you know, saying two three run right, and

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:41.559
<v Speaker 3>we're still looking at you and we're still looking to

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 3>stop you from becoming a nuclear nation.

0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Kolly just got about thirty seconds here. So is this

0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.120
<v Speaker 1>you know you're on the ground there, you understand the pressure.

0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:53.120
<v Speaker 1>We talked earlier with our Nick Wadams, who covers national

0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 1>security certainly here in the United States. But saying that,

0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, ending what was going on Lebanon maybe is

0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.439
<v Speaker 1>not on the same doesn't necessarily mean we're going to

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:06.520
<v Speaker 1>see an end to what's going on with Hamas and

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:11.160
<v Speaker 1>uh Palestinians right now. So I just I'm wondering, tell

0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:12.720
<v Speaker 1>us what you can say, is this, Is this a

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.440
<v Speaker 1>big step forward to we assume that we can see

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 1>an end to the conflict very soon everywhere or not

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:20.280
<v Speaker 1>necessarily just quickly.

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:26.480
<v Speaker 3>So to summon up very quickly with Hamas. Maybe, like

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.680
<v Speaker 3>I said, if Commas feels more secluded now and feels that,

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 3>you know, more pressure, maybe this can advance and see

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 3>for ideal between Israel and Comas. Iran is a different story.

0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:40.160
<v Speaker 3>Not that Trisabella is weakened after the war with Israel.

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:46.280
<v Speaker 3>They are more exposed to perhaps an attacked against its

0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:50.120
<v Speaker 3>energy and mulcular facilities. I'm not saying that this is

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.559
<v Speaker 3>on the table here and now, but this is definitely

0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:56.840
<v Speaker 3>something that NATANIAO has been hinting at. And it still

0:12:56.840 --> 0:13:00.600
<v Speaker 3>remains to be seeing whether the direct exchanges between Iran

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.800
<v Speaker 3>and Israel that we've seen over the past month over

0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.560
<v Speaker 3>at this point and Lias until the chump and aguration,

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 3>or we'll see more of those exchanges on coming.

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:15.280
<v Speaker 1>We do know it's late, and we appreciate you giving

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.360
<v Speaker 1>an update on the situation, certainly since you're there on

0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.680
<v Speaker 1>the ground. Khalide, thank you so much. Khalide Alstain Bloomberg
