Speaker 1: dual citizenship, as well as ten Thai nationals and a

10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: We don't know when that will occur, but we're going

11
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: to be expect it to occur. And we don't know

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: what the list of all the hostages are and when

13
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: they'll be released, but we know the numbers they're going

14
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 2: to be released, so as my hope and expectation will

15
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:44,880

17
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: the conditions of ten Americans who remain unaccounted for. The

18
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: truce is a critical moment in the war, marking the

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: first major cessation of hostilities since October seventh, when Hamas

20
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,760

24
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 1: Friday is just the beginning of a three part holiday season.

25
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: We look at kind of Black Friday through Cyber Week,

26
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 3: then we go into a lull. It's like ten days

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 3: where people kind of reset, and then those last ten

28
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 3: days become increasingly important. So it's one of the three

29
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: stages right now that we are at. The kind of

30
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 3: the Christmas shopping is a homer.

Speaker 4: then pay the rest and installments, typically over a few

43
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 4: weeks or months. Analysts say key features of the plans

44
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,600
