In an action-packed audio half-hour, Dan analyzes Donald Trump's claim of a breakthrough on Gaza -- and we hear a Palestinian-American who claims to know Hamas well say that the group really is willing to disarm, to stop Israel's targeted assassinations!
Also -- various angles on the Trump-Netanyahu summit at the White House, where the men didn't appear together, but perhaps they were plotting something big. We hear them, and also Israel's opposition leader Yair Lapid in Washington, saying the decline in U.S. public support for Israel can be "reversed."
And Harlan Ullman -- U.S. Navy veteran and strategic advisor to governments and corporations -- famous for the "Shock and Awe" strategy of launching a war -- tells Dan that the U.S. seems headed for failure in the Iran conflict.
Pressed by Dan, Harlan Ullman casts doubt on U.S. willingness to cooperate with Israel's military and intelligence in the future.
