Very good. He was waiting for your call to stop hostilities. Why don't you call Trump, Netanyahu, Putin, Xi, etc etc. We will pay for your calls. Trump is longing for your call. Take care.

He called the wrong man. He has to call Trump and Nethenyahu. They are the people who started this unnecessary War
