Joining me now is NBC News senior national security correspondent Courtney Kubie who is at the Pentagon. Uh so Courtney, we heard President Trump say that Zillinsky is not going to be a part of these talks. How significant of a blow is that for Ukraine and European nations.>> It's a huge deal, Ryan. I mean, the notion that President Zalinski would agree to any kind of a potential outcome out of the meetings in Alaska seems pretty far-fetched. Imagine that would mean President Trump and Vladimir Putin would ...

that joining me now is former senior State Department and CIA official Ned Price. Good to see you, Ned. So Netanyahu said that his plan to take over Gaza City is the speediest way to defeat Hamas and end the war.This plan has been widely condemned by the international community and it would force the evacuation of about a million Palestinians. What would the escalation of Israel's war operation mean for the humanitarian and famine crisis there. And of course, the efforts to free remaining hostages.>> Well, ...

I think we're quite far from lasting peace. I think where everybody is just trying to get through immediately is a lasting ceasefire. And I think from the Israeli perspective and definitely this outlook, their view has long been from the Netanyahu government that only a military campaign that fundamentally wipes out the totality of Hamas is going to ensure Israel's security.And that in turn can start to be a bridge toward peace. The problem is that in the meantime, we've obviously seen mass starvation in Ga ...

Senator Coons, if you were the President of the United States, what is the conversation you would be having with Prime Minister Netanyahu tonight. I would be pressing Prime Minister Netanyahu very hard to finally come to a ceasefire to secure humanitarian aid and relief uh for the suffering Palestinian people of Gaza, to secure the release of the remaining nearly two dozen living hostages, and to put together a framework for achieving lasting peace for the Middle East. um after the strikes on Iran, after Pr ...

Israel orders evacuations in northern Gaza as Trump pushes for ceasefire https://t.co/7HqtbHh5nD ...

Is the pain trade now to the up or to the downside. I think the tendency is definitely up that the trend is up. I mean, the you know, if the ceasefire holds, it looks good now.That's a that's a tremendous plus for the markets. I think, you know, all time highs for the S&P are virtually a foregone conclusion now and and further highs after after that. I mean, Powell was flexible.Clearly, Congress wants interest rates to go down and a number of Fed officials do. That could be a positive. I think they should g ...

Paul, thanks so much for your time today. We've got a lot to unpack here, but I want to start with this idea of the cease fire. President Trump hailing a cease fire saying the 12 day war, as he's calling it, is over.But obviously Iran's foreign minister countering that.
