1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Let's get reaction out of Trump's pace plan with the

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: three to four day deadline for Hamas. It includes an

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: immediate sea spot followed by the disarmament of Hamas and

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: in Israeli withdrawal. Linda Gradstein is CBS News correspondent in Jerusalem. Linda,

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: what's the reaction been or what do we expect the

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 1: reaction might be from Hamas well?

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 2: It's really hard to tell. The sort of reports are

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: that Hamas is tending towards accepting the deal. They're under

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure from Kuttar, the Palestinians living in Gaza.

10
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: I have a friend who lives in Gaza and has

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: been displaced numerous times and is barely, you know, having

12
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: such a and she's been having such a hard time,

13
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: and she wrote me and said, I hate all the

14
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 2: Palestinian organizations. I'm sick of all of So I think

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: there is a sense that the population in Gaza certainly

16
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,959
Speaker 2: wants the word to end, wants the bombing to end,

17
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: wants to begin to rebuild some semblance of life in Gaza.

18
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 2: But at the same time, it's basically Hamas giving in

19
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 2: by saying that it will have no role in any

20
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 2: future government of Gaza, that the area will be demilitized,

21
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 2: that Hamas will hand over its guns. So all of

22
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 2: those are things that I think are very difficult for

23
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 2: Hamas will accept.

24
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: Do the people in Gaza want Hamas gone too?

25
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: Well, First of all, you know, it's hard to tell

26
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: because people are afraid to speak out against Hamas, And

27
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: if you do write anything online on social media against Hamas,

28
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 2: you will have somebody showing up at your home and

29
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: threatening you. So people are afraid to speak against Hamas.

30
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: But I think there is a feeling that Hamas. You know,

31
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: Hamas was originally elected in two thousand and six, and

32
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: it was more as a sort of a reaction to

33
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: the corruption of the Palestinian authority, and the idea was

34
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: that the people of Hamas, because they were observant Muslims,

35
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: that they were not corrupt. But I think people really

36
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: there are people's lives, you know, there's not people are hungry,

37
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: there's enough food, there's no semblance of a normal life

38
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: in Gaza. People are living intense people have been displaced

39
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: numerous times. Many kids haven't gone to school in two years.

40
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 2: So I think they're against anything that stopped from which.
