Happy Wednesday. Welcome to Counterpoints. How you doing, Emily?

I'm good. Crystal says Counterpoints doesn't exist anymore. It's all Breaking Points.

I was going to say Breaking Points, but there's the CounterPoint's logo.

We have some things to work out, I guess.

Well, we'll figure it out when Sires back.

That sounds good. So we have a big show today. Donald Trump is in the Middle East.

Some great drop site reporting to talk about, actually, on the serious situation. But Trump gave a hell

of a speech in Saudi Arabia that we're going to go through. Yes. And now he's on his way to Doha.

That's right. Maybe he's going to pick up his big, beautiful plane. Yeah. We're also going to have Amir Tobon join us.

He's a Haretz columnist.

We're going to talk about what this means for the genocide in Gaza and whether or not we're

going to actually see an end to this.
