The Trump administration is likely headed for a deal with Iran that closely resembles the JCPOA, says former Obama adviser Ben Rhodes. But, he adds, “Trump's incapacity to kind of stay quiet through this diplomacy, I think, is part of the reason that we're not at a deal yet.”

"I support Israel and we must continue to support Israel. But there was a slaughter of the Palestinian people in Gaza." On America's relationship with Israel Wendy R. Sherman tells me, "things have changed, I spend a lot of time with younger people. I try to listen and learn as my parents did with me during the Vietnam war... Israel must be safe and secure and have peace forever. And the Palestinians have to be able to have dignity and a place they can call their own as well."

Earlier live on air, I spoke about what a day of real joy this is, for Israeli families whose loved ones are finally being returned from two years of horrific Hamas captivity, and for civilians in Gaza, who have finally had a reprieve from two years of brutal, deadly war. I noted that for the hostages who are finally home, it will take a long time for them to recover mentally and physically. But I regret also saying that they may have been treated better than many Gazans because Hamas used these hostages as pawns and bargaining chips. It was insensitive and wrong. From speaking to many former hostages and their families, like everyone I've been horrified at what Hamas has subjected them to over two long years. They've told me their stories of barely being able to breathe in the tunnels, not being allowed to cry, being starved and made to dig their own graves – and of course today, some of the hostages are coming back in body bags.

“A country that says that it’s a democracy doesn’t behave in this way.” Spain’s Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares reacts to Israel’s detention of international activists from an aid flotilla. “You don’t inflict such inhumane and humiliating treatment to citizens… I find this appalling, outrageous… and I will never accept that my citizens are treated in this way by anyone in the world.”

Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis tells me "we have a strategic partnership with Israel but friends need to speak truth to friends."

“This is an unnecessary war,” says former MI6 chief John Sawers. “It was not required, because it was not as if it was to pre-empt an imminent threat,” he tells me. “The very best you can expect is a sort of Venezuela-type outcome. But there are plenty of other, more dangerous outcomes coming from this.”
