Bloomberg Middle East corresponded. 8 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 3: Jumana Barsechi is here with the very latest but. 9 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 4: Major breakthrough that we walked into this morning. As ever, 10 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 4: President Trump took to truth Social to announce it. He 11 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 4: said that both sides, Israel and Hamas, had agreed to 12 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 4: the first phase of the peacedale, which would entail the 13 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 4: release of the outstanding hostages. There are twenty thought to 14 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 4: still be alive at twenty eight deceased in exchange for 15 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 4: Palestinian prisoners, alongside a withdrawal of the idea to a 16 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 4: pre agreed line. So still a lot of questions, but 17 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 4: a major diplomatic breakthrough and indeed an emotional moment as 18 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,639 Speaker 4: well for many of the region. The families of hostages 19 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 4: have been celebrating at Tel Aviv, and many Palestinians also 20 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 4: very keen to see the end of two years of 21 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 4: destruction with huge humanitarian loss. 22 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 5: Bloomberg Strewmanier said. 23 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,639 Speaker 3: She says as part of the deal, Israel will release 24 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 3: jailed Palestinians and allow a ramp up of aid supplies 25 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 3: to Gaza. 26 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: Attend to France now, Nathan, where President Emmanuel mccran says, 27 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 2: you will name a new prime minister by tomorrow evening 28 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 2: and we get the very latest in Parish at Bloomberg 29 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 2: Daybreak Europe anchor Stephen Carroll, Stephen, good morning. 30 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 6: Good morning, Karen and Nathan. So, another political deadline looms 31 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 6: in France after two days of intense talks with political leaders. 32 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 6: The outgoing Premier Sebastian Lecrn, who said last night there 33 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 6: was a path to passing a budget and crucially he 34 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 6: said there was a majority in Parliament who don't want 35 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 6: an election. So that leaves President Macron searching for his 36 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 6: sixth prime minister in two years. That person will have 37 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 6: to get parties from the center left to the center 38 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 6: right to agree one key issue, suspending controversial pension reforms 39 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 6: which were passed two years ago. That's the main task 40 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 6: facing the next Prime minister, who'll then have to try 41 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 6: again to shepherd a budget agreement through a fractured National 42 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 6: Assembly in Paris at Stephen Carrol Bloomberg Radio. 43 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 3: Stephen, thank you now to the latest on the US 44 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 3: government shutdown. 45 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 5: It's now into its ninth day. 46 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 3: Both Republicans and Democrats remain dug in on their demands 47 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 3: for a clean stopgap spending bill on the GOP side 48 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 3: and extended healthcare subsidies for Democrats. House Speaker Mike Johnson 49 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 3: tells Bloomberg's Balance of Power, the debate over healthcare can wait. 50 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 7: That's a December thirty one policy issue. We were always 51 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 7: going to negotiate that and debate it and deliberate over 52 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 7: it in October November. That always has been on the 53 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 7: schedule and they know that. But they're trying to pretend 54 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 7: that's the issue of the day. 55 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 5: It's not. It's a red herring. It's a distraction. 56 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 3: And as the shutdown continues, the White House is considering 57 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 3: a plan to withhold back pay for some furloughed federal 58 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 3: workers after the government reopens. 59 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 5: Johnson says he has not studied that plan. 60 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 7: It has always been my understanding that the law requires 61 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 7: workers received back, and of course that's been the tradition, 62 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 7: and I'm not sure exactly what the President is referring 63 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 7: to there there. I haven't had a chance to talk 64 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 7: to him about that specific issue yet, but we will. 65 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 3: That was House Speaker Mike Johnson on Bloomberg's balance of 66 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 3: power and stay with Bloomberg.

The 76 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: provocative move comes as the US and Chinese presidents prepared 77 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 2: to sit down at a summit in South Korea to 78 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 2: hammer out a trade deal between the world's biggest economies. 79 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 3: Trade of markets now, Karen, both stocks and gold are 80 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 3: both coming off a session of record highs. 81 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 5: Let's get the very latest with Bloomberg's Tucker.

Israel and Hamas have reached a deal 219 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 3: to release all remaining hostages two years in a day 220 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 3: after the attack that's sparked all out war in Gaza. 221 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 3: President Trump is celebrating this moment. 222 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 14: The whole world came together to be honest to so 223 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 14: many countries that he wouldn't be even thought of it, 224 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 14: and they came together. 225 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 7: The world has come together around this deal. 226 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 3: That was President Trump in an interview on Fox's Hannity 227 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 3: last night. This morning, we're joined by Bloomberg Horizons anchored 228 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 3: Jumana Barsechi in Dubai Jumana, Good morning. We have seen 229 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 3: the scenes of celebration in Tel Aviv. Walk us through 230 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 3: exactly what has been agreed to and at least this 231 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 3: first part of the deal. 232 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, beyond the diplomatic breakthrough, also a hugely human and 233 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 4: sentimental moment as well for those the families of the 234 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 4: hostages who've been waiting for two years now for the 235 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 4: release of their family members. Brings hopefully an end to 236 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 4: a devastating war in the region. But what we know 237 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 4: is that only phase one of the peace deal has 238 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 4: been agreed to by Israel by Hamas, and this was 239 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 4: confirmed subsequently by comments put out by Israel, Hamas and 240 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 4: the mediators including Katar too. It's been welcomed by ourb 241 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 4: states in the region and it entails a release of 242 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 4: the hostages who are still being held in captivity twenty 243 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 4: still thought to be alive as long, alongside the remains 244 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 4: of others who died in captivity thought to be twenty eight. 245 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 4: That would happen in exchange for Palestinian prisoners around two 246 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 4: thousand in total, and one of the topics that has 247 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 4: been under negotiation the last couple of days is exactly 248 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 4: agreeing to who on the Palestinian side, which prisoners would 249 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 4: be amiable to this or be acceptable rather for the 250 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 4: release and for this exchange. It also entails the withdrawal 251 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 4: of Israeli forces to predefined lines, and just a short 252 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 4: while ago IDEF had said that they had begun operationally 253 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 4: to prepare for the withdrawal to a pre agreed line. 254 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 4: We don't know what that line is, but some of 255 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 4: the bigger questions regarding Hama's disarmament, regarding future governance, and 256 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 4: regarding future reconstruction of the Gaza strip remain unanswered. But 257 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 4: definitely a very positive first step in the right direction. 258 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 3: And still an unanswered question, isn't there as to whether 259 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 3: the Israeli cabinet will agree to this deal as well? 260 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 3: That's still it remains to be seen, doesn't it. 261 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 4: It does remain to be seen. They're going to be 262 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 4: voting on it later this afternoon, around four or five 263 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 4: pm local time, and the expectation is that it will pass. 264 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 4: So already we're hearing that the Finance Minister's magic will 265 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 4: vote against it. But I think there is a lot 266 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 4: of pressure also domestically internally to bring about an end 267 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 4: to this not least because it is the biggest opportunity 268 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 4: yet since the war to secure the release of all 269 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 4: of the hostages in one go. And earlier you were 270 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 4: referencing these celebrations that were taking place at Hostage Square 271 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 4: in Tel Aviv. The view there is that this really 272 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 4: is the opportunity to bring about the release of those 273 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 4: who have been held in captivity for the last two years. 274 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 4: I should say also that technically the c squire is 275 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 4: likely to go into effect right now, right around now, 276 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 4: and they had cited around twelve pm local as the 277 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 4: time that it would go into effect, waiting for conformation 278 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 4: of that. But that would be one single in the 279 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 4: right direction, and that both sides preparing for the implementation 280 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 4: of the ceasefire and those exchange of hostages for prisoners. 281 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 3: In our last minute jumana, what comes next? As we 282 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 3: say this is a first phase toward a hopeful end 283 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 3: to the war in Gaza. 284 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 5: What more needs to be done? Well? 285 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 4: President Trump says that he is coming to the region 286 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 4: over the course of the weekend. 287 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 5: He is likely to go to. 288 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 4: Egypt A President Ceci offered an invitation to him to 289 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 4: come for the assigning. He's also expected to go to 290 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 4: Israel perhaps even deliver speech to the Kanasset, and that 291 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 4: should be around the time that the hostages are released. 292 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 4: He said in an interview over Fox News that that 293 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 4: should happen on Monday, by the latest. So that is 294 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 4: the first stage, and of course after that then it 295 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 4: becomes a question of full Hama's disarmament and the enforcement 296 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 4: of that disarmament. And only once that has taken place, 297 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 4: can then Israel be comfortable talking about withdrawal of IDF 298 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 4: forces to some of those pre agreed lines. So that's 299 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 4: the sequencing. Once that is done, then you can talk 300 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,239 Speaker 4: about the future of guys and some of those bigger questions. 301 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Daybreak, your morning podcast on the stories 302 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 2: making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 303 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 3: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 304 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 3: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 305 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 306 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 2: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 307 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 2: in New York, Bloomberg in ninety nine to one in Washington, 308 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 2: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 309 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 2: XM Channel one twenty one. 310 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 3: Plus Listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business App 311 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 3: now with Apple CarPlay and Android Atto interfaces. 312 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 2: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
