00:00We're talking a lot today, obviously, about President Trump visiting the Middle East.
00:05First stop, Saudi Arabia.
00:07He'll also be visiting Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
00:10No stop announced for Israel.
00:13Is that being seen as a snub?
00:16How is that being interpreted in Israel?
00:19It's absolutely being interpreted as a snub.
00:22And in fact, until very recently, Netanyahu's office, the prime minister's office, was trying to spread a rumor that Donald Trump would make a surprise visit to Israel, that they were still working on it, that it wasn't a dead end.
00:37But that appears to be nothing more than wishful thinking.
00:40And it appears very clear that this is a Middle East visit for Donald Trump that doesn't include Israel on many levels.
