jim himes, congressman. >> i hope you are right. this conflict has been good for no one. there are tens of thousands of displaced israelis. there are significant fatalities and casualties amongst the idf. there's been a tremendous amount of damage done to civilians in lebanon and gaza. hopefully, with the elimination of such an obstacle, with the death of sinwar, as we hope is the case, maybe the israeli leadership and the iranian leadership will at least start the negotiations. they will be hard, but at least start the negotiations. >> congressman jim himes, thank you so much. we appreciate it. >>> a quick break, 90 seconds. more on the breaking news from israel with our panel of experts. you are watching "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. goldmine. well she doesn't know that if she owns a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more she can sell all or part of it to coventry for cash. even a term policy. even a term policy? even a term policy! find out if you're sitting on a goldmine. call coventry direct today at the number on your screen, or visit coventrydirect.com. it
