What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA rabid cat and now this.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAnyway, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected former President Barack Obama's comments on Israel's founding and Palestinian displacement, in a video posted Friday on X.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHe said Jews are not foreign occupiers in their ancestral homeland, and that the land is not stolen land.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have sat across from both kinds of leader, the ones who call and the ones who post.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTwo men with every embassy on Earth at their disposal, and they went with the one that autoplays.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentCan I just say, a video on X is the only format where you get to be the whole panel.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNobody cuts in, and the other guy has to watch it in his own feed.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA former president speaks, a sitting prime minister replies, and the secretaries of state read about it with everyone else.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentLet me finish. The reply is the post. There is no phone call after, there's just whoever replies next, and that's the whole peace process.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the diplomacy is a reply guy.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWith all due respect, we are the only people here trained to interrupt, and we've been politely waiting.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBoth sides have now spoken, and the only person who hasn't been interrupted is the one who posted a video.
