1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You don't want to be an American idio Scott Coo

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: here seven hundred WLW. Will there finally be peace? Peace

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: in our lifetime? There's a potential to end the two

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: year war between Israel Hamas Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: he's going to convene the Israeli government. He's doing that

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: today as we speak, to ratify the Seasfire agreement. And

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: President Trump may travel at Egypt as soon as this weekend,

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: and that's where the talks are being held. To put

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: in perspective. As doctor Mark Nzilaco, he's a UTI political scientist,

10
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: also a Middle Eastern expert, former director International Studies Program

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: and founder of u d's Human Rights Studies Program. Mark,

12
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: how you been?

13
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: I'm fine? How are you?

14
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: I'm fine. I think peace in the world is a

15
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: good thing. I think when you see the people being ravaged,

16
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: not only from what happened two years ago in twenty

17
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: twenty three, to normal Israelis living their lives, to the

18
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: bombing and Susan bombing of those in Gosam, any of

19
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: those people not really other than the fact that they're

20
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: chatteled in this whole mixed up conflict illustrates the absurdity

21
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: and just how cruel we are to other human beings,

22
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: and maybe we'll finally get piece piece at last. And

23
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: the question is will that piece last? Because I'm also well,

24
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: I think the glass may be half full here. I

25
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: think that there's some problems. We'll get into that. So

26
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,199
Speaker 1: let's talk about the deal real quick. Let me outline

27
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: it in case you're not following this or just hearing

28
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 1: it for the first time. Hamas has agreed to release

29
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: all their remarrining hostages Israel. We will draw withdraw their

30
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: forces back to what they call the agreed upon Yellow line.

31
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: And this is just the first phase of the peace agreement.

32
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: So it's going to be the hostages and then Palestinian

33
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: prisoners get released, and then once that's finalized and within

34
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: forty eight hours, all this is going to end. But

35
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 1: there are some bombs going off today as a matter

36
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: of fact. So first and foremost is this is phase

37
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: one and that seems to be the easy phase Phase

38
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: two and beyond that's probably the more difficult. Can you

39
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: lay that out?

40
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: Oh well, I mean, there's a twenty point plan. It

41
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: was agreed to a week or so ago. We're elaborate,

42
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: very very elaborate very detail. Well, and the phase where

43
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: now is really was water two widems, you know, and

44
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: the key is really getting Hamas to lay it down

45
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 2: its weapons and uh, for Hamas to have no future,

46
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: uh in any Palestinian administration that runs that that land.

47
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: And that's that's a long that's a long stretch. That's

48
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: that's when you've laid the foundations for genuine peace. The

49
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 2: smoke hasn't cleared yet from a two year and very

50
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: as you say, very very bloody, very very violent war.

51
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: I mean destruction on almost unimaginable levels. So I mean

52
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: just psychologically and emotionally. How do people who are already

53
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 2: each other's throats, how do they recover from this? How

54
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: they move forward? Uh? You know, gritter things maybe haven't

55
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: been done, but maybe the violence was precisely so bad

56
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: that everyone finally wakes up and realizes that we have

57
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: to find a means to coexist and live together. So

58
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: I'll hope that's the goal.

59
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you hope so too. You just wonder how long

60
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: it's going to last. And I kind of mentioned that

61
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: in my preamble there. As you know, you're the professor

62
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: in this conversation. You're you're the student of this more

63
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: than I am. I can't count how many deals we've

64
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: had in the past when it comes to different accords

65
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: and the like. And that's not just Hummas, but generally

66
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: peace between Palestine in Israel itself. I mean the also

67
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: Accords back in the nineties, you had Camp David in

68
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: two thousand, You've had summits and roadmaps for peace in

69
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: the Annapolis Conference and Trump's peace plan from five years ago,

70
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: and none of them went anywhere. Why is this the one?

71
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're exactly right. I mean, if those couldn't take

72
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: hold in a much more favorable environment of peace than now, because,

73
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: as I said, a moment ago, to the destruction, level

74
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: of destruction is so great, it's not even mistrust anymore,

75
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: has deep, deep hated hatred. Uh So, one could only

76
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: hope that the violence was so immense that it shocked

77
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: everybody into into a mind a mindset for a peace.

78
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: But no, at this stage, we're looking what hostage you're

79
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: coming back? I mean, it's really intelligence is assessin that

80
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 2: Hamas may even be able to return all the dead

81
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 2: hostages because obviously because the yeah, so will we be released,

82
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: which prisoners will be released what will stay? You know. Still,

83
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: the big piece is does Hamas retain any any power

84
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: now both within Gaza, among Palestinians and certainly vis A

85
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 2: vis uh is real who's not going to stop hunting Hahas?

86
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: You know Israeli? So you're not going to stop hunting

87
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: Hamas because they meet it. They they reached an agreement

88
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: sharmol shake Egypt. So I mean the roots through violence

89
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: are so deep that. Yeah. So it's work as how

90
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 2: as we can, as the UN says, get the housages

91
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: out and get the aid in. Uh, but be realistic

92
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: about uh, be realistic about the prospects for long long

93
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: term piece.

94
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I just don't imagine Hamas is going to

95
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: go away. Quiet, That's the thing is. And there's a

96
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: couple of points in here too, is Hamas is going

97
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: to lay down their arms and simply guy, I just

98
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: don't see this as kind of like the American Revolutionary

99
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: War that all these combatants lay down their arms and

100
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: go back to being gentlemen farmers.

101
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, I don't see that at all. Uh, you know,

102
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: I mean, you know there was back in the day,

103
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 2: but as accords, when you know elements at PLO fought

104
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: that were coming and they had a terrorist background and

105
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: they made a transition from that. But this Hamas is

106
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 2: a different like his bulla a different beast. Here's the

107
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 2: point though, Gaza is is rubble and and it really

108
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 2: needs to be rebuilt UH. And then I should communities

109
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 2: on this before poort and billions and billions of dollars. Now,

110
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 2: what happened before was Hamas hijacked, that process hijacked. They

111
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 2: were able to divert those nieces to missiles and tunnels

112
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 2: and bombs and uniforms, all those all the belligerency material

113
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: for war. So in the administration of this piece, if

114
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: we move forward on this twenty point plan, there's the

115
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: opportunity and there's really the imperative that the global community

116
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 2: monitor their expendors, really control that process so that by

117
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 2: by by administering Gaza UH really marginalizing Hamas there so

118
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: Hamas will be could be at war UH with the self.

119
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 2: Tell us to the ends up war with themselves. If

120
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: Hamas is to retain is going to try to retain

121
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: some influence.

122
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: And that's the billion dollar question, man, how do you

123
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: prevent that from happening? Because two things off the top

124
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: of my head, Mark Ensilaka would be human nature, because

125
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: you know the nature of of having control as power

126
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: and power as to come, and fear as part of

127
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: that is the currency of power. And so hey, how

128
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: many regimes have we seen in the history of the

129
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: world where someone's taken over and organization has taken over

130
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: and it's become a total power grab. And again it's

131
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: the has and have nots. We take everything, we arm up,

132
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: we scare the hell out of the people, and we

133
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: keep them in line, whether it's this or pole pot

134
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: or anybody else. And then the other thing is just

135
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: out and out graft. Yeah, okay, we're going to have

136
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: what the un oversee this? Yeah, good luck with that.

137
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 2: Huh. Yeah. You know, there's an old expression in diplomacy

138
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: that the devil lives in the details. It's easy to

139
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: sort of reach. It's not easy, but it's possible to

140
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: reach broad twenty point goals and have some sort of

141
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 2: pacific vision of the future. But it's in the implement

142
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: patient as you say, how many tons of food are

143
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 2: going to go in per day? Really, how are you

144
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: going to reconstruct the destroyed sanitation systems? I mean, really,

145
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: there is an opportunity out for Gaza's for palest Indians

146
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: in the new administration to build, not just rebuild Gaza,

147
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: but build a new society there. And they're going to

148
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: have to do it because it's literally rubble and it's

149
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: literally great loss of life, great disruption. But there's going

150
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: to be a you know, there's going to be an

151
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: international relief effort. I hope we're part of that and

152
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: we don't have to take it over, and that would

153
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: be the number one could contribute a bit. We'll be

154
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: involved clearly. The twenty point Plan, as I understand it,

155
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 2: sees a key role for a peace commission chaired by

156
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: the President of the United States. So we're engaged. We're

157
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 2: engaged very clearly, but it's in the details. Let's get

158
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: it right, let's do it right.

159
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: But the problem is the other part of the problem

160
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 1: to us, we've seen in Afghanistan and backwards, is that

161
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: we pay attention. Because we're Americans, We've got the attention

162
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: span of a gnat, and we'll pay attention into what's happening.

163
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: Once everything signed in the press, opportunities over, we'll move

164
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: on to the next shiny object, uh, and then things

165
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: will fall apart in the Middle East, and we'll wonder

166
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: what happened. Is that a possibility?

167
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I mean certainly one would in his in

168
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 2: the Maga world. Is this is a step of involvement

169
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: in other countries wars That exactly what he promised to avoid.

170
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 2: I mean, how how will his his loyalists, his most

171
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: loyal supporters, how do they see? Uh, this Nobel Price

172
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 2: comes out tomorrow, It's gonna be fascinating. Uh, fascinating.

173
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: That's how I want to get it done right now,

174
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: because he wants he wants he wants a Nobel prize.

175
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 2: My guess is that the votes already end. Uh it

176
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: would be interesting though, Uh you know, the name should

177
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: maybe bows around at Jerry Kushner. I mean he's working

178
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 2: behind the scenes for a long time. I'm not I'm

179
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 2: not nominating him by any means, but uh, there are

180
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: there is a there was a there has been a

181
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 2: great deal of behind the scenes fashion in the Arab world,

182
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 2: and it's gonna be fascinating to see with the passage

183
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: of time what we learned about that process. History books

184
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 2: are going to be fascinating, but those period time.

185
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's doctor Mark Nsoloco at the University of Dat

186
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: and political science professor there talking about maybe finally peace

187
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: in the least between Israel and Hamas and regime change

188
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: there and stopping the bombing, and it could happen relatively soon.

189
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: The Prime Minister of Israel NET and Yahoo is convening

190
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: the Israeli government today to vote on this to ratify

191
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: the ceasefire agreement. The other side, any, I don't we

192
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: don't want sae like a couple of bitter old men here.

193
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: But but you know, we've seen this movie before, not

194
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: just in our lifetime, into previous lifetimes. And you are

195
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: a student of history, your political science professor, and history

196
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: is the best indicator future behavior. And so if we're

197
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: a little jaded and pessimistic about this, it's for good reason.

198
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that this piece won't last. And hell,

199
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: even if the piece lasts for six months, a year,

200
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: two years, ten years, whatever it is, that's better than

201
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 1: these two sides blowing each other up, taking hostages, killing,

202
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: raping women, holding people hostage, and the other side bombing

203
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: the hell out of civilians.

204
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's you just laid out of Panorama. That's really frightening.

205
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I mean it's long term term. One

206
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 2: thing you would be always sure of the Middle East

207
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 2: that there's something will flare up, Yes, But at the

208
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 2: same time, and I don't want to be too optimistic

209
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: about things, but the strategically the Middle East has changed

210
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: a great deal. I mean because of the violence. I mean,

211
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 2: obviously Hamas has been close to being destroyed, but you know'

212
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 2: his boiler and the attack on Iran with even the

213
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 2: United States getting involved attacking the nuclear sites. I mean,

214
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 2: so you hit this arc of countries that were hostile

215
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: to Israel An Israel sort of you know, took the

216
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 2: fight to them, and that is weakened these organizations regionally

217
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 2: and and strategically. Now I'm not simply saying, you know,

218
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 2: what a wonderful new world, you know, post war World

219
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: War two, uh uh, you know world, But yeah, there's

220
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 2: been changes in the strategic environment, and maybe that could

221
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 2: be a basis. I mean, you look at these golf states,

222
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 2: Goha and all these emirates, all these they're fabulously wealthy.

223
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: They're fabulously wealthy societies. And although there's just an attachment

224
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: of Palesitian cause that I coulds rather than protruci them,

225
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: I mean there's a lot of people sort of want

226
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 2: to get out into their lives and they'd probably rather

227
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: talk to Jared Kushner about real you know, you know,

228
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: Mediterranean seafront real estate. Then the don't want to run

229
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 2: around in a singing alo roc bar uh and and

230
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: blowing things up, So there could be really environment. I

231
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 2: always argue that when I wrote my first book about

232
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 2: violence in the Middle East Fromplex September September eleventh, it's

233
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 2: looking at a different war, uh, you know, against Alcada

234
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 2: in Afghanistan. I simply said, you know this will this

235
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 2: will end when mothers tell their children suicide in the

236
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 2: act of blowing someone up is not you know, jihad

237
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: in a way of allah. You know when when you dead,

238
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 2: attitude changes. And one could probably say and he is

239
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: ready sit side too. Within the settler movement, the extreme

240
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 2: sort of Zionist movements that are that have taken the

241
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 2: vigilante law in their own hand. There's deep problems in

242
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: these societies that speak against a long lasting peace. But

243
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 2: one can build on what was in front of us

244
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: right now. Right now there's a lot of rebuilding of

245
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 2: a lot of destruction, and and make the difficult initial

246
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 2: steps in these peace press make these count.

247
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you kind of hit on it there.

248
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: And the big question then to summarize what you're saying

249
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: on Tlaco, is this only works if both sides wanted

250
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: to work.

251
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. Remember at ended a chapter in my book once

252
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 2: where one of the leaders back in the day said,

253
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 2: we don't want peace. Peace would end all our hopes.

254
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 2: I mean, if that's the mentality you have, yeah, you

255
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 2: got the you've got the permanent roots for for for

256
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: future violence. But right now, clearly in the house to

257
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 2: the inside is exhausted. I mean, it's really difficult to

258
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 2: assess this because journalists have they not had access to

259
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 2: little many have lost their lives in this conflict reporting

260
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 2: from Gaza. But you know, one beginning to hear uh

261
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 2: reports or inklings that Pelsis have turned on Hamas and

262
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: they're saying, you know, yes, here's what these did, this

263
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 2: great distraction to us. But you provoke them, you know,

264
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: you poke the bear. Uh And so you know, Hamas

265
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 2: Tamas militants will walk around with scars, greens, cigars are

266
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 2: on the head and and and the goose step. But

267
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: in point of fact, there is a serious, serious defeat

268
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: for them militarily and politically.

269
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: And all the multi phases are the twenty point program.

270
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: We're just in the first couple right now. This is

271
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: only phase one, So we're a long way away from

272
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: lasting peace at this point, even a ceasfar, because bombs

273
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: are going off this morning as a matter of fact.

274
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: There as we moved to phase two in beyond, it

275
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: was France, I believe, the first loft of the notion

276
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: that Palestinian state whood should be a thing, and some

277
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: other countries signed on to that and absolutely upset those

278
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: of us in the West. How dare you do this?

279
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: They come in two years ago and look what they did,

280
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: and now you want to give them statehood and forget

281
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: everything else. But it sounds like part of this plan

282
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: is eventually that's exactly what's going to happen. I mean,

283
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: if Israel is pulling back to this yellow line, then

284
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: they'll have a final determination where that is. That would

285
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: then mean that some degree at Palestinian state right.

286
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I thought, I thought France and Great

287
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 2: Britain announcing this a few weeks ago was really sort

288
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 2: of and forgive me for putting on such plant terms

289
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: sort of you know, media just the media. Start, there

290
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 2: is no palest in the estate. I mean, when you

291
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: say to me, show me your state, the first thing

292
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 2: I want to know is where are the boundaries? So

293
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: and then who's your leadership Hamas? I mean, it's nothing

294
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 2: was going to come on this. Nonetheless, you know, and

295
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 2: so I understand President Trump sort of trying to push

296
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: back in our allies this tag back you were rewarding.

297
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: You said, exactly, wait, Scott, you're rewarding Hamas by giving

298
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 2: them this prize. But no, the fact, the long term

299
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 2: fact is there's going to happen in two states. So

300
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: at some point you're going to so in the process

301
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 2: of building, you know, when you when you really have

302
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: to just make sanitation systems and water and deliver food

303
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: and you know, just the rudiments of running and government really,

304
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 2: you know, particularly recovering one right, you can build trust,

305
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: you can see that people can work together, and that

306
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: it has to be to go in building and rebuilding.

307
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 2: I think we really have to lay the foundations to

308
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 2: build out for a long term, long term priest. But

309
