00:00First of all, the Gaza death toll passes 57,000 today, with little clarity on a potential ceasefire.
00:09Yesterday, a Hamas delegation met Egyptian and Qatari mediators in Cairo to discuss the proposal.
00:17Are we any closer to an agreement?
00:22Well, there is a feeling of deja vu.
00:26We have been in this situation many times in the past months, getting close to a deal, and then before reaching the real end, negotiations collapse.
00:40The new element this time is that we are in the post-Israeli-Iranian war, I would say.
00:47A situation in which the American president, President Trump, feels strengthened and ready to lead a sort of a peace process towards a de-escalation in Gaza.
01:02He feels that the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is dated to him and should be ready to respond positively to the plans coming and suggested by the American president.
01:15So we'll see whether this new element will make a difference, really, in terms of the Israeli and also, of course, Hamas' readiness to move forward toward a ceasefire.
