he's now a distinguished fellow at the washington institute for near east policy. let me start with you, dennis ross. what is your reaction to what prime minister benjamin netanyahu said in response to hamas's counterproposal? >> he had two audiences in mind. the first was idea sinwar who is the head of the military wing in gaza and actually is the person in control in gaza. and the other audience was probably the right wing of his own coalition where he knows they are threatening to break the government if he looks like he is prepared to end the war or give too much to hamas. so i think for sinwar, what he wanted to signal was, look, you're asking to end the war and you stay in power. no way. not accepting that. this was netanyahu's way of beginning a readiness to signal that he's going to negotiate, but he's going to negotiate hard. and i would say the hamas counterproposal is itself a kind of first counterproposal designed to produce a negotiation. i don't think there was any hamas expectation that the israelis would accept something like this. >> marwan muasher
