Lazar Berman, a diplomatic correspondent for The Times of Israel, shares his insights on Prime Minister Netanyahu's recent trips to Hungary and the U.S. He discusses the unexpected warmth from Hungary's Viktor Orban and highlights a surprising Oval Office meeting with Trump. Berman reveals Trump's bold statements on U.S.-Iran talks and tariffs on Israel, while the issue of 59 hostages in Gaza surprisingly took a backseat. The complexities of Israeli-Turkish relations, especially with Erdogan, add further intrigue to the diplomatic landscape.
