The first phase of the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is set to end in two weeks.
00:05
Donald Trump's special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Whitkoff, says phase two talks
00:10
will go ahead in the coming days.
00:12
Phase two is absolutely going to begin.
00:15
We had very, very productive and constructive calls this morning about the sequencing of
00:20
phase two, setting forth positions on both sides so we can understand, level set where
00:27
we are today, and then continuing talks this week at a location to be determined.
00:33
President Trump and I are working in full cooperation with the Israeli Prime Minister
00:38
Benjamin Netanyahu and officials from Egypt and Qatar, who serve as mediators.
00:45
Netanyahu's office issued a statement saying that in coordination with the U.S. Presidential
00:50
Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Whitkoff, he has today instructed the negotiations team
00:55
to leave for Cairo tomorrow in order to discuss the continued implementation of the first
01:00
stage of the deal, adding that the teams would then receive instructions regarding second
01:04
stage negotiations.
01:08
Israel's security cabinet meets on Monday to discuss the second phase, which involves
01:11
Hamas releasing dozens of remaining hostages in exchange for more Palestinian prisoners,
01:17
a lasting truce and the withdrawal of Israeli forces.
01:21
While he's protesting to seek the release of hostages, our urging him to continue negotiations
01:26
and not kill the deal.
01:28
We need to get the hostages back.
01:31
From day one we knew that it was not in the best interest of our government to bring them
01:36
home.
01:37
We realized that, so we had to put pressure, as much pressure as we could.
01:43
The Israel-Hamas deal is fragile.
01:46
This Monday marks 500 days since the 7th of October attack.
01:50
Both sides accusing the other of ceasefire violations.
