Speaker 2: says that truce ended up failing or it stopped the

9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: tactical pauses they had because of Hamas, and it was

10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: due to Hamas not releasing the names of the hostages

11
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,360

15
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,959

16
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,560

00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 3: of the Palestinian territories, but Turkey getting drawing a very

23
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: clear redline there signaling that listen, if you try to

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 3: come after anybody on our soil, we will not tolerate it.
