We speak to journalists Gideon Levy and Rami Khouri about President Trump's meeting Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago, where Trump supported Israel's threats to launch new attacks on Iran and warned Hamas to disarm during the second stage of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement. Khouri, a Palestinian American journalist, called the meeting a "continuation of the American-Israeli drive, that's been going on for some years now, to reconfigure the Middle East … into a new colonial arrangement, whereby the U.S. and Israel dominate what goes on in the region." Levy, Israeli journalist for Haaretz, called the meeting an "embarrassment," noting that "Donald Trump presents himself as someone who promises the sky, who has no demands from Israel whatsoever."
