1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: At least so far, so good. Twenty living hostages back

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: via the Red Cross. Israel released nearly two thousand prisoners.

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,159
Speaker 1: The US President left Israel, and as you've heard, has

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: been in Egypt as part of the so called peace process.

5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: Steve Linder is with CBS Radio in Jerusalem, is back

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: with this.

7
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: Morning Hello from Jerusalem.

8
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: How did it feel.

9
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: Well? Today felt like really a very dramatic day here

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: in Israel. For the first time, I personally felt like

11
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 2: I could breathe after the war was over after two

12
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 2: really long, harrowing years, and Israel's twenty live hostages were freed.

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: Four bodies were released, even though there's still another twenty

14
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 2: four that are being delayed for some reason, and Israel,

15
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: for its part, three two thousand Palestinian prisoners, many of

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: them convicted terrorists. All in all, it was an incredibly

17
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: dramatic day. And now they're having a big summit in Charmel,

18
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 2: in Sharmalech, the resort town in Egypt where I've just

19
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: come from, and it should be a very dramatic time.

20
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: But yes, the highlight probably was the hostage release. From

21
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: Israel's point of view. The Palestinian prisoner released from the

22
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: Palistinian point of view, and the end of the war

23
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 2: from the point of view of the Hole add.

24
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: Least plenty of standing emotions in the Kanessa. For the

25
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: US president, is he a hero was seen as a

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: hero locally there at the moment?

27
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: Well, he certainly was given a heroes welcome in the cansset,

28
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: and he spoke for a very long time, over an hour.

29
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: But there were a couple of interruptions, including from two

30
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: members of Knesset from the left to tried to interrupt,

31
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: and they were very quickly evicted from the parliamentary building.

32
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: But otherwise he was given a standing vision all the

33
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: way through, and literally everything he said, and he said

34
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: some crazy things was well received in Israel.

35
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: This the next few days, the next few weeks, Whatever

36
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: has did? I been the easy part? In other words,

37
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: does piece hold? Is the war really over? Do they

38
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 1: rebuild Gaza? Is the eye gonna flow?

39
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: And all the other questions, well, I think the fact

40
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 3: seriously that President Trump has put the full weight of

41
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 3: his office behind this steal is very significant, and it's

42
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 3: taken a while, but he really has shown that together

43
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 3: with Katar and Egypt and and the.

44
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: Other media media, as he can push them all to

45
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: make a deal. So yes, for the first time, there

46
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: is hope, hopeful feeling in the air, but you can

47
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: you can never tell. You know, the Middle East is

48
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: a very volatile place and literally anything can spark it

49
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: off again. And I'm just hoping from Israel's point of

50
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: view that the rest of the bodies are found and returned,

51
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: because that could be problematic. And from the Palestinian point

52
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: of view, you know, I hope that they don't feel

53
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: it necessary now to resume some of the terrorist campaign

54
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: against Israel, because you know, this has been a really

55
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 2: terrible two years for both.

56
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: Sides, and indeed they appreciate Steveland, Who's with CBS in
