they had both come from israel, as they were obviously calling on israel to show restraint in response to the iranian attack. that message has continued here although discussions have now moved on to the war in ukraine. but it was interesting to note that after those conversations that they had in israel, benjamin netanyahu was very clear that israel would be making its own choices. christian: the other discussion was ukraine. they are returning to this idea of using the frozen russian assets, or the interest accrued from those assets to fund the war effort. how far have they gotten with that? it is part of one of the bills they will discuss in the u.s. house of representatives this weekend. jessica: it seems to be a pretty complicated idea, and one that has been kicking around for a really long time. and there has been hesitancy before because of legal complexities. i was talking to officials here tonight and heell me the u.s. is pushing this idea of using frozen russian assets, the bulk of which are held in europe. to use the interest to then get a loan in order to channel money to u
