BANNON: I don’t think many people outside the WarRoom and some others understand this trip is bifurcated. Israel first, the Knesset, the hostages, meeting with PM Netanyahu. But there’s something quite historic going on in Egypt - 25 nations Qatar, UAE and Saudi are the bank. Turks look like the security. The Iranian and Persians are showing up.

Matt Feracci: A journalist at the National Post described Israel today as a country vibrating with conflicting emotions. I think you alluded to that earlier, Steve, quite brilliantly where you said that 67th generation, the hard-core generation, has one viewpoint on the hostages, and the left of Israel has another viewpoint. The point is obviously that everyone wants them to come home— the conflict is over the cost of that return.
