reminds him of germany stock as the russ alex scares to thank you for the update. turning now to our other top story from last delegation has arrived in egypt to resume the gaza. truth talks, negotiations in cairo, involved the u. s. katara and egypt. the talks are taking place as israel threatens to launch and offensive on the city of rasa to pursue come off militants. it holds responsible for the october 7th terror attacks. some $1500000.00 palestinians are taking refuge in the southern city un and the us have warrant against the operation . the truth proposal is 6 to health fighting and exchange hostages for palestinian prisoners. the earlier we asked middle east expert daniel guerra lack for his analysis and expectations. here's what he had to say. but i think this is probably the last chance that with this consolation with involvement of egypt caught in the

united states a um, hostage deal could be negotiated to nothing, but it's clear for everyone, the americans have put into huge, have invested heavily. and you put huge pressure also in the is really side. i've heard from the egyptians that they have also changed their pasto and how much they have. uh, of course, always uh, been very critical of how mazda and, uh, and also those, the pressure. but uh, what they have been doing and the reason days is quite of the president. we see we've seen the head of egyptian national intelligence of us combo travel to israel . now we have the most allegation in cairo. so i think everyone is very much serious about the proposal. however, previously the negotiators have observed that whenever they came very close to a deal on both sides as the categories that there is really have the homicide sabotaged it. and i think this, there is, there's great expectations, but also a high degree of frustration. now they're talking about numbers. apparently the

number of hostages, the even a tearing situation of the hostages. what is important now is that they choose some sort of a deal to prove that the mechanism still works. and i asked the w, correspond atanya claim there in jerusalem about the outlines of this deal. that's why we have to be very careful with out. of course, no official outline has been published as negotiations are ongoing, but in recent weeks that has been you know, reports and over always based on names sources that, that give us a kind of idea of how such an deal would look like. now in the 1st phase, that could last up to 4 to 6 weeks, we could see the release of up to 33 hostages in exchange for yet to be determined, raised 2 of palestinian prisoners that are held in is really prisons. and of course, in exchange for a temporary c, sorry. and then this talk about a 2nd phase, where basically more of the hostages,

the living hostages would be released as well as the bodies of those hostages that are no longer alive, as well as that during these, you know, weeks then in this 2nd phase, that would be some sort of talks on going about a permanent or sustainable calm. but of course all this means the devil he is in the detailing. we have to wait until you know, the agree on a deal and receive a deal being published over the past 6 months. we've seen so many attempts to make a deal is this time different? and if the current deal on the table falls, what does this mean for the war? i mean, there's a lot of pressure on all sides. they've just hurted and t and is a, was a waiting period this week because all week there was the sense that, you know, the, the waiting for the response a by him off to the latest proposal. and we're seeing the headlines. he's saying it's either a hostage to you or an operation into off off, and that was, you know,

such as being the last opportunity here by some of the analysts. now of course, this is also meant to be a pressure tool by the is really government to uh, bring him us to agree to such a deal, but we understand major sticking points remain. i'm us wants to see. commitment is rather of a full withdrawal from a gaza by its forces, as well as the return of all the residents that have been displaced to the south, back in the north, to the homes of what is left of it. and also, of course, a permanent end to the war. and this is something that is really tough not really agreed to be heard by mr. ben. you mean antonio's saying again and again that whether or not that is a deal, an operation. rough estimate happen. the w correspondent, tonya kramer, thank you very much. i, a ton of money and 10 year are on alert as a tropical cycle and is approaching the coastal areas,
