Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. We 197 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 3: continue to monitor developments in the Middle East, where the 198 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 3: first pause in fighting between Israel and Hummas in more 199 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 3: than six weeks appears to be holding, and it comes 200 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,599 Speaker 3: after weeks of delicate talks aimed at releasing some of 201 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 3: the nearly two hundred and forty hostages that HUMMAS captured 202 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 3: in the deadly October seventh attack on Israel. For more, 203 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 3: we are joined by Bloomberg's Henry Mayer, who is part 204 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,599 Speaker 3: of our team of reporters who has been covering this 205 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 3: war in the Gaza strip since it began. Henry, good morning. 206 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 3: Get us up to speed on developments thus far are 207 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 3: since it does look as though this truth is underway 208 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 3: and does appear to be holding. 209 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 14: Yes, good morning. Well, the truth started at about seven 210 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 14: o'clock in the morning local time, and they haven't been 211 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 14: any indications of any violations. And you know the importance 212 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 14: next stage is going to be the release of thirteen 213 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 14: hostages which are being held in Gaza currently. That is 214 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 14: expected at four pm local time, and on the same 215 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 14: day at thirty nine Palestinian prisoners. All of these are 216 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 14: women and people aged under the age of nineteen children 217 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 14: in the case of the hostages, and in the prisons 218 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 14: you're looking at youths aged under nineteen. So you know, 219 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 14: I can't stress how difficult this process has been to 220 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 14: even get where we are today. It took weeks of 221 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 14: very very difficult diplomacy, secret diplomacy. It broke down at 222 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 14: certain stages. But of course, you know the problem is 223 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,719 Speaker 14: that it's for four days only today have been for 224 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 14: the Gaza residents two point one million of them who've 225 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 14: been living under daily bombardment for almost seven weeks. Today 226 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 14: they finally came out, They left the shelter, they were 227 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 14: able to walk around. But of course, at the back 228 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 14: of their minds is they know that this arrangement may 229 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 14: only last for four days, could be extended up to ten. 230 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 14: But we don't know that yet. 231 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 3: Before we get to what comes after, we do need 232 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 3: to continue to discuss what comes in the midst of 233 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 3: this pause. Part of this deal was to get more 234 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 3: humanitarian aid into Gaza as well. Have we seen signs 235 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 3: of progress there? 236 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 14: Yes, we have. You know, there are trucks which are 237 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 14: entering through the border with Egypt, the Rapha crossing. We 238 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 14: understand from HOMAS officials border officials they expect two hundred 239 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 14: trucks to enter Gaza today. This is significantly more than 240 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 14: has been allowed to Gaza in recent weeks, but it's 241 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 14: still much less than used to come prior to the war, 242 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 14: five hundred a day. So the amount of aid that 243 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 14: Gaza needs, you know, is way more than what is 244 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 14: going to becoming in the next few days. But obviously 245 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 14: it's a step in the right direction. 246 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 3: And what about the distribution of that aid, because We've 247 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 3: heard reports from the United Nations and other non governmental 248 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 3: organizations in the area that they have suffered through these 249 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 3: bombardments over the last several weeks as well. I mean, 250 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 3: what's the difficulty in getting aid into and distributed through 251 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 3: Gaza when we've seen so much destruction over the last 252 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 3: several weeks. 253 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 14: Well, obviously one of the greatest difficulties is the fact 254 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 14: that you have an active war zone and it's extremely 255 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 14: dangerous to move around. Secondly, there's an acute lack of fuel, 256 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 14: so Israel imposed a complete blockade on fuel deliveries initially, 257 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 14: and in the recent a week or so it has 258 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 14: been allowing in very small quantities of fuel to be 259 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 14: used only by the United Nations for transportation purposes. But 260 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 14: the quantities of fuel coming in the UNSA that they're 261 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 14: completely inadequate for its operations. So yeah, that is something 262 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 14: which is still a big problem in. 263 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 3: The time we have left, Henry, Let's talk about what 264 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 3: comes after this pause. We did hear from Israel's Prime Minister, 265 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 3: and we've heard from him several times that he does 266 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 3: not want the war to end even after this pause expires, 267 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 3: but he is under a lot of pressure, particularly from 268 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 3: the United States to at least change some of the 269 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 3: conduct of this war. What can we expect going forward. 270 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 14: I mean, I think that the pressure is only going 271 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 14: to increase, and it's not only international pressure, and you 272 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 14: mentioned the United States, that's very important. At the same time, 273 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,479 Speaker 14: there's a domestic issue here, the issue of the hostages. 274 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 14: Two hundred and forty were taken into Gaza until now 275 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 14: only a handful have been released. Fifty are going to 276 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 14: be set free over the next four days. Some of 277 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 14: these people are going to be giving interviews, They are 278 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,479 Speaker 14: going to you know, the public awareness of the hostagism 279 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 14: and the kind of conditions in which they are living 280 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 14: in Gaza is going to be accentuated, and I think 281 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 14: that is going to be something that will weigh very 282 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 14: heavily on the Israeli government. Probably not sufficient to get 283 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 14: them to stop the conflict at this stage, but I 284 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 14: think we are getting closer to that point. 285 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg day Break Today, your morning brief on 286 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 287 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 288 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 2: Easter each morning, on Apple's Spotify and anywhere else you 289 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 2: get your podcasts. 290 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 291 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: am Wall Street Time, on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 292 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 293 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: Bloomberg one six to one in Boston, and Bloomberg ninety 294 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: sixty in San Francisco. 295 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 2: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 296 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 2: Amazon Alexa devices.
