However, in light of the election results, we must explore the possibility of reaching understandings, including based on formulas proposed in the past.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 — US President Trump says renewed U.S. strikes on Iran are 'highly unlikely' if Tehran makes progress toward a nuclear deal and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. "It depends on whether or not they sign a very strong agreement. I would if necessary, but we hit them really hard," he said. He warned that U.S. forces remain ready, saying, 'I have got three aircraft carriers here. They are fully locked and loaded'. Trump also claimed that the U.S. could destroy 38 Iranian bridges within an hour and that Iran retains only 10% of its missile capacity and 15% of its drone capabilities. Despite the threats, Trump said, 'Most likely it will not be necessary. They want to make a deal so badly'. — CNN | @TheWarReporter

🇮🇱 — Gadi Eisenkot:

"We are in the midst of a destructive diplomatic crisis. Even our closest friends and strategic allies are saying that they must reconsider their relations with us. Seventy-four members of the Knesset no longer have confidence in the continuation of the outgoing government and the man who leads it. This is the voice of the public. This is the decision of the people. We must do everything to respect it and implement it".
