1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,800
Speaker 1: Reality is starting to play a bigger role in the

2
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Middle East, with the latest reports that the US have

3
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: had credible report apparently that Hamas was planning an imminent

4
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: attack on civilians in Gaza. That's not forgetting. They were

5
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: supposed to disarm, of course, as part of the piece.

6
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: Deel Linda Gretstein is CBS News correspondent in Jerusalemic with US.

7
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: Linda morning to.

8
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: You, good morning.

9
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: What are you hearing? How messy is this?

10
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: Well, it is pretty messy.

11
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, two Israeli soldiers were killed today

12
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:32,319
Speaker 3: in Gaza in an attack from anti tank fire, and

13
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 3: Israel responded with widespread attacks across Gaza, reportedly killing dozens

14
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 3: of Hamas people. Now, Hamas says that it wasn't them,

15
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 3: that they were not the ones who attacked the Israeli soldiers.

16
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 3: Israel says it is them. Hamas still has the bodies

17
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:53,319
Speaker 3: of sixteen hostages who were either killed before they were

18
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 3: taken hostage or killed while in captivity.

19
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: There's no sign of Hamas disarming.

20
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 3: However, it does seem that both sides don't want to

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 3: throw away the ceasefire yet, and yet it's pretty tenuous

22
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 3: at this point.

23
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: What about the aid flow.

24
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 3: So Israel cut off the aid flow. Now it had

25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 3: started to ramp up again. You know, we're just over

26
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 3: a week into the fire, and Israel said that it

27
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 3: was closing all of the crossings.

28
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: And that no humanitarian aid would get in.

29
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 3: However, there are reports that Israel will reopen those closings tomorrow.

30
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 3: That this is not going to be a long term

31
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: kind of thing, just a response to the Hamas attack

32
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 3: on the Israel.

33
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: So if we continue with days of this, who calls it?

34
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: At what point to somebody go, this isn't actually happening

35
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: here and what we thought was going to happen isn't.

36
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 3: Well, I guess it's President Trump who calls it. Actually,

37
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 3: I mean it's really President Trump who is behind this,

38
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 3: And in fact, the Vice President JD. Vance and US

39
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: Special Envoy Steve Whitcofford's in Israel probably tomorrow to try

40
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: to push through the next stage of this, and that

41
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 3: is Hamas disarming and some sort of technocratic government put

42
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 3: in place in Gaza, some sort of military stabilization force.

43
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: That doesn't include Hamas.

44
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: But you know, these kinds of things don't happen overnight.

45
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 3: They take time, and the problem is the more time

46
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 3: they take there is. Meanwhile, Hamas is consolidating its control

47
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 3: over Gaza again.

48
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: All right, Linda good to Tortio will stand touch Linda Gritstein,
