the main sticking point, as my colleague yolande referred to there, is over how this ends. so the fundamentals of the deal are largely intact, they're largely agreed. they can agree this — that it will start with a 42 day period of calm, a truce essentially, during which hamas will give up 33 hostages. there's a bit of dispute about whether they would be alive or dead, but 33 hostages. in return, a much larger number of palestinians prisoners would be released from israeli jails and palestinians who had been moved south into rafah would be allowed to return to what's left of their homes in the north of the gaza strip, in gaza city. but the sticking point is that hamas want a permanent cessation of hostilities at the end of that. now israel, this israeli government, does not want to sign up to something that leaves hamas intact because its view is that if they do that, hamas will simply reconstitute itself and attack them again as they did on october 7th and indeed they warned they would like to do exactly that. so there is enormous pressure on the israeli government from
