WEBVTT - The Israel-Hamas ceasefire-hostage deal, explained

0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Already and this is this is the Daily This is

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the Daily OS. Oh, now it makes sense.

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Good morning and welcome to the Daily OS. It's Friday,

0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:20.560
<v Speaker 2>the seventeenth of January. I'm Sam, I'm Billy. After fifteen

0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 2>months of devastating conflicts, Israel and Humas have agreed to

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:28.319
<v Speaker 2>a ceasefire hostage deal, marking a major turning point in

0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:33.200
<v Speaker 2>the war. The agreement, broken by Egyptian, Katari and US authorities,

0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 2>is set to begin this Sunday. In today's deep Dive,

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:38.879
<v Speaker 2>we're going to break down what this means for the

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.680
<v Speaker 2>region and the prospects for lasting peace.

0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Sam, this was huge news that we in Australia woke

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.880
<v Speaker 1>up to yesterday that the conflict that has claimed tens

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>of thousands of lives is finally well, hopefully over. Do

0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 1>you want to start by just reminding us how we

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>got here and how this latest bout of fighting started.

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, we go back fifteen months and the current phase

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.840
<v Speaker 2>of the conflict began on the seventh of October twenty

0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.560
<v Speaker 2>twenty three. That was the day that Hamas launched an

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 2>attack on Israel, killing around twelve hundred people. They also

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 2>talk two hundred and fifty one hostages, with about one

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 2>hundred of those still being held in Gaza. Israel responded

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 2>by declaring war on Hamas and launching a military campaign

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.400
<v Speaker 2>in Gaza. The human toll of that campaign has been devastating.

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 2>UAN data shows around forty six six hundred Palestinians have

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 2>been killed and at least ninety percent of Gaza's population

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 2>is now displaced. The territory is facing what the UN

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.840
<v Speaker 2>has called one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent history.

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>And now we have this deal that has been announced.

0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to walk us through what it actually involves.

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And the first thing I want to say is

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 2>that we haven't actually seen the full text of this deal.

0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 2>It has been made public so far. We're going off

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 2>the widely reported details that stems from some news organizations

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 2>having a copy themselves. The Associated Press was the first

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 2>news company to have a copy of the deal. With

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 2>that said, we do have a firm idea of what's entailed.

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 2>We also got some confirmation from the US President Joe

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Biden and Qatar's Prime minister during a number of press

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 2>conferences yesterday. So it's structured in three parts. The first phase,

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.520
<v Speaker 2>which will start on Sunday, so in forty eight hours

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 2>time is going to last six weeks, and during that

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:34.119
<v Speaker 2>time there will be a complete ceasefire and Hamas will

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 2>release thirty three hostages. Now in exchange of those hostages,

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Israel will release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, including thirty who

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 2>are currently serving life sentences. And what's really significant is

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 2>that the IDF will need to pull back from populated

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 2>areas in Gaza during this period and they're going to

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 2>retreat to a buffer zone near the Israeli border, and

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 2>that should allow more humanitarian aid to enter Gaza and

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 2>give placed Palestinian civilians a chance to return to northern Gaza.

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Keep in mind, though, that US research has indicated that

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 2>about sixty percent of buildings in Gaza have been destroyed

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 2>over the past fifteen months. Now, in terms of aids,

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.919
<v Speaker 2>the deal specifies six hundred UN humanitarian trucks can enter

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 2>each day, which is a marked increase from what's currently

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 2>allowed to enter the Strip. Officials have said delivering aid

0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:26.080
<v Speaker 2>could still be difficult due to Israel's restrictions on some

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:29.400
<v Speaker 2>UN agencies like UNRA and widespread looting.

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 1>And by ceasefire, will there be a complete stop to the.

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Fighting yeah, So think about ceasefire as both sides agreeing

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 2>to stop fighting while officials negotiate the terms of a

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 2>permanent truce. And I often find that that's the key

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 2>to understanding the difference is is it a ceasefire or

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 2>is it a truce? And it's a really important distinction

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.880
<v Speaker 2>when we get to phase two and phase three, and

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 2>that's when a more permanent solution to this is trying

0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 2>to be worked out. One more point before I move

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 2>on to talking about phases two and three. The deal's

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 2>only going to come in on Sunday, and a few

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 2>hours after the deal was announced yesterday, the IDF launched

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 2>another round of strikes in northern Gaza, killing at least

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 2>twelve And I think that goes to something I want

0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 2>to talk to you about at the NBILLY, which is

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 2>that this is a framework where a lot can go

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 2>wrong as well.

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.279
<v Speaker 1>So for the next forty eight hours there won't be

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>that immediate stop in fighting, but after Sunday exactly.

0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:25.760
<v Speaker 2>So it's going to come into force on Sunday. Well,

0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:27.039
<v Speaker 2>at least that's the plan for now.

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 1>And so you've taken us through the first phase. I'm

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 1>interested you said that they're still kind of working out

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>phase two and three. Is that right? That they haven't

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.720
<v Speaker 1>fully agreed on what those phases.

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Will look like yet, Yeah, And it's not uncommon in

0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:43.080
<v Speaker 2>these sorts of cease fires historically for this to be

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 2>the way that these fold out. I mean, one way

0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.480
<v Speaker 2>to think about the stages is that phase one is

0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.559
<v Speaker 2>the stage that allows officials to think about how to

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:53.360
<v Speaker 2>execute stages two and three.

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 1>But we do still know some things about stage two and.

0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Three, right, Yeah, we know the goal of phases two

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:01.360
<v Speaker 2>and three is four, as Joe Biden said, a permanent

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 2>end to the war. And that's all going to depend

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.240
<v Speaker 2>though on how the first six weeks of Phase one

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 2>pan out. If it pans out well, in phase two,

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Hamas would release all remaining living hostages in exchange for

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:18.599
<v Speaker 2>more Palestine prisoners and a complete IDF withdrawal from Gaza.

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden said though, that if the negotiations to get

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 2>to a Phase two go longer than the six weeks

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.719
<v Speaker 2>they're allocated for Phase one, that the Phase one conditions

0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:29.800
<v Speaker 2>are going to kind of remain in place for that.

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 2>So they're hoping for six weeks. There's a six week countdown,

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.279
<v Speaker 2>but it can go longer. But I think the really

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 2>tricky part to all of this is what happens after

0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 2>the IDF withdraws, and I think that's why it's taking

0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.440
<v Speaker 2>officials a bit of time. Is much of the negotiations

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 2>in this part of the deal is going to relate

0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:51.279
<v Speaker 2>to how the long term reconstruction and permanent peace is

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 2>actually going to be built in Gaza. A big focus

0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 2>of this is also going to be who's going to

0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 2>govern Gaza in the long term. And then if we

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 2>move past that, we get to phase three, and that's

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 2>where the remains of any hostages who have been killed

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 2>and are still held by Hamas would be exchanged for

0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:11.120
<v Speaker 2>the implementation of what they're calling a multi year reconstruction

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.160
<v Speaker 2>plan in Gaza, and that would be administered by an

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:15.280
<v Speaker 2>international coalition.

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 1>And all of those questions that you're bringing up about

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:21.359
<v Speaker 1>kind of what the long term future of Gaza is

0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:24.160
<v Speaker 1>and this war between Israel and Hamas. Yeah, I guess

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:26.159
<v Speaker 1>it's important to say that this is in the context

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.560
<v Speaker 1>of a really long term war. These are not new questions.

0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.480
<v Speaker 1>There are questions that the region has and the country

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:36.359
<v Speaker 1>has been dealing with for decades and decades. So it

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.800
<v Speaker 1>will be fascinating to see if, like you said, this

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.719
<v Speaker 1>is a long term solution that will potentially put an

0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>end to those decades of fighting, rather than just seeing

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.480
<v Speaker 1>this as something that has happened in the last fifteen months.

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.279
<v Speaker 2>Definitely, and even listening to some of the responses from

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:54.120
<v Speaker 2>other Middle Eastern countries' leadership yesterday, there was this real

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 2>sense for such a dynamic and troubled region whether this

0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 2>type of event would lead to more sustained peace. You're

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.600
<v Speaker 2>totally right. This is a part of the world that

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.720
<v Speaker 2>really speaking for hundreds of years, has not been in

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 2>what we would describe as peacetime.

0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 1>So this was all announced early yesterday in Australia. What

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 1>happens now, So.

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 2>The plan is with Israel's Cabinet, and that is a

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 2>body in Israel that includes the Prime Minister Benjamin Nyahu

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:24.080
<v Speaker 2>and his senior ministers. They'll have final approval over all

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.679
<v Speaker 2>the details of the plans. We're talking maps, we're talking

0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 2>names of prisoners and hostages before the plan is actually

0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:31.360
<v Speaker 2>implemented on Sunday.

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 1>And what has the response been from the leaders of

0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Israel and Hamas So?

0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Israeli President Isaac Herzog yesterday urged the cabinet to accept

0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 2>the deal. He said that the deal would bring our

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:46.400
<v Speaker 2>sons and daughters home. In a statement from Hamas, Hamas

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 2>said the deal was an achievement for our people, our resistance,

0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 2>our nation, and the free people of the world. It

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:55.080
<v Speaker 2>marks a crucial turning point in the struggle against the enemy,

0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 2>on the path to achieving our people's goals of liberation

0:07:58.080 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 2>and return.

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.760
<v Speaker 1>And when talking about the response, I saw a lot

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.600
<v Speaker 1>of videos yesterday on social media of people in Gaza

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:09.360
<v Speaker 1>and also in Israel really celebrating this agreement and hopefully

0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 1>celebrating the end to what has been, like you said,

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:13.800
<v Speaker 1>fifteen months of complete devastation.

0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 2>And I think that's another pattern that emerges from these

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.760
<v Speaker 2>sorts of moments. I'm thinking about, you know, ceasefires being

0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 2>reached in places like Seria, Iraqi, Afghanistan over the last

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty years, the relief and the outpouring of emotion that

0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.640
<v Speaker 2>we often see on the streets of these countries.

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.200
<v Speaker 1>For the civilians, it's quite overwhelming.

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, at the end of the day, you know, these

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 2>sorts of political decisions actually have real life impacts to

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.280
<v Speaker 2>both Israelis and Palestinians.

0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 1>And US President Joe Biden also held a press conference yesterday.

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 1>He stood up with Vice President Kamala Harris and the

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln to announce the deal. What

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:48.439
<v Speaker 1>did he say?

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.559
<v Speaker 2>So he got up, he announced the deal, and he

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.720
<v Speaker 2>said this, well than fifteen months.

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:57.880
<v Speaker 3>Of terror for the hostages, they're families Israeli people, more

0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:02.360
<v Speaker 3>than fifteen months of suffering by the innocent people of Gaza.

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:07.680
<v Speaker 3>Fighting in Gaza will stop, and soon the hashis return

0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 3>home and their families.

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Now Biden wasn't the only US president we heard from yesterday.

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.040
<v Speaker 2>We also heard from President elect Donald Trump. Now, he

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:18.120
<v Speaker 2>had previously said there would be quote hell to pay

0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.480
<v Speaker 2>if the hostages weren't released by his inauguration, which is

0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.760
<v Speaker 2>January twenty. Also only a few days away. After the

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.560
<v Speaker 2>deal was announced, he claimed on truth social that his

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:31.960
<v Speaker 2>incoming administration had quote achieved so much without even being

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 2>in the White House.

0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's an interesting US political angle here too, because

0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:40.199
<v Speaker 1>both Joe Biden and Donald Trump kind of fighting over

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:44.040
<v Speaker 1>who can claim credit for negotiating this deal.

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Definitely, and I mean Biden is coming out and saying

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 2>this is the exact wording of the deal that he

0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.319
<v Speaker 2>put to the parties in May last year. Trump is

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 2>saying the deal is only happening because of his imminent

0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:58.000
<v Speaker 2>arrival at the White House. There was also this really

0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 2>interesting moment at the end of the press compe ference

0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 2>yesterday where Biden was asked who could take credit for

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:03.680
<v Speaker 2>the deal?

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:04.440
<v Speaker 4>Thank you?

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Credit for this, mister President? You or truck?

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 3>Is that a Joe?

0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Thank you?

0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 2>I do think there's a lot of kind of political

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.960
<v Speaker 2>noise and spin when we work out who can take

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.240
<v Speaker 2>the credit for this. And there were many comments not

0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 2>only from Biden and Trump, but also from Blincoln and

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:27.280
<v Speaker 2>other representatives of the actual team of US officials who

0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:30.080
<v Speaker 2>have been negotiating this deal. And one thing that came

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.559
<v Speaker 2>through when you took away the comments from Biden and

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Trump is that it's been a combined effort. That there

0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.679
<v Speaker 2>were comments about, you know, the incoming administration and the

0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Biden administration working quote as one team on the deal

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.560
<v Speaker 2>in recent weeks, which I thought was really interesting and.

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Quickly talked me through the Australian political response.

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.440
<v Speaker 2>So a couple of hours after the news of the

0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.880
<v Speaker 2>ceasefire broke, Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albernezi he said, the

0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:57.240
<v Speaker 2>ceasefire is a quote new chapter for the Israeli and

0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Palestinian people.

0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:02.559
<v Speaker 4>This agreement is a constructive step towards peace and stability

0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.360
<v Speaker 4>in the region. We hope it will allow the Palestinian

0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:09.520
<v Speaker 4>people the opportunity to rebuild, reform their governance which is

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 4>most necessary, and pursue self determination. Australia remains unequivocal in

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 4>our condemnation of Hamas's atrocities. On the seventh of October.

0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 2>We also heard yesterday from the Opposition leader Peter Dudden

0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.880
<v Speaker 2>he welcomes the deal, saying Australia should now seek to

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:32.000
<v Speaker 2>re establish its important relationship with Israel and to finish up.

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 1>We did briefly touch on this, but I want to

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:35.960
<v Speaker 1>bring it up again because I think the big question

0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.079
<v Speaker 1>that everyone has is around whether the ceasefire deal can

0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.720
<v Speaker 1>actually last long term. What do you think?

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.320
<v Speaker 2>I think this is an incredibly tough question to answer,

0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.400
<v Speaker 2>but I do think that we need to think about

0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.360
<v Speaker 2>this deal not just in the six weeks of phase one,

0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:54.160
<v Speaker 2>but this is a three phase deal and both parties

0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.079
<v Speaker 2>need to pass the test of phase one to get

0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.319
<v Speaker 2>to phase two and then phase three. Agreements like this

0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.760
<v Speaker 2>are never going ted and they're so fragile. I mean,

0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:05.120
<v Speaker 2>you think about one missile going from Gaza to Israel

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.000
<v Speaker 2>or one rocket going from Israel to Gaza and all

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.840
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden the deal is off. But whilst they

0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:14.520
<v Speaker 2>do sometimes fall down, they do have the capacity to

0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:17.280
<v Speaker 2>usher in a new period of peace. And that doesn't

0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.560
<v Speaker 2>matter where it is in the world. We know that

0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.640
<v Speaker 2>over history, cspires can work. It's fragile, it may fail

0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.400
<v Speaker 2>at any time, but it also might work. And I

0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.800
<v Speaker 2>think a really critical point for us to be looking

0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.000
<v Speaker 2>out for is that six week point at the end

0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:35.000
<v Speaker 2>of Phase one. Negotiators essentially have this six week countdown

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:37.439
<v Speaker 2>ahead of them. If they do work out a framework

0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.080
<v Speaker 2>to enter phase two, then they'll have momentum and they'll

0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.960
<v Speaker 2>have a drive forward. If you start extending phase one,

0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.200
<v Speaker 2>that's where we might see some of the fighting resume.

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:49.439
<v Speaker 1>We'll be watching closely as this deal unfolds on Sunday.

0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.040
