the white house in washington dc. first spring in mohammad junction has been following the talks here until well, how many can you, can you just set a straight on what we know and where we are at this hour on these talks of the serial why there's still a lot more questions and there are answers when it comes to the contents of this joint statement from the us from cover. and each of what is clear at this hour is that the mediators do feel that there has been positive momentum achieved in these talks. if you look at the language that shows up throughout this statement, not only do they say that the talks were constructive and conducted in a positive atmosphere. they also say that this us proposal that was backed by cut the in egypt and present it to both sides. that it's one that they believe will narrow the gaps. they also say that they believe that the gaps can be rich,
7:03 pm
that shows that right now there is cautious optimism that perhaps a cease fire deal can finally be reached in the days ahead. now again, there is still a lot of details to be worked out. while the statement indicates that the mediators believe that they might be able to reach a deal. it does not go into the specifics as to which gaps still need to be close. it doesn't talk about the number of perhaps a palestinian prisoners that would be exchanged for is really captive. it doesn't talk about who would remain in the public philadelphia core door. there's a lot of stuff. it doesn't mention. of course, it does say that there are going to be these technical teams that continue to meet and that officials are looking to meet in cairo before the end of next week. but i can tell you that going into these talks just a couple of days ago, many of the diplomats that were talking about this were saying that the expectations had been low, even though it was a very high stake situation at a time of great regional volatility when they're so much concerned that there could
7:04 pm
be an all out regional war, a conflagration, and the hopes were that reaching a ceasefire. deal with ease those tensions right now. it seems as though the mediators feel that they have taken a positive step is still the devil very much in the details, a lot to be worked out. but the language that we're hearing today at this hour indicates that right now, these mediators feel that there has been positive steps taken thus far. 0 mom and thank you so much for letting all of that out. we're going to bear in mind what you said at the top, that there are still more questions than answers. however, it seems it's going in a positive direction. as mohammed john schumann, doha honda, so who is in jordan's capital oman? reminder is always that our team is there in jordan because these really government has van dash 0 from reporting inside israel. with that, said honda, are you hearing anything yet about is really reaction to what the mediators have said or to the talks that have taken place of it over the last 2 days.
7:05 pm
we are just getting a statement from b is rarely prime minister's office regarding these taunts that have concluded now for the 2nd day thing quote is real, appreciate the effort of the united states and mediators to dissuade him us from his rejection to the hostage deal. israel's fundamental principles are well known to the mediators and israel hopes that their pressure will lead, have us to accept the principles of may 27th, so that the details of the agreement can be implemented. now remember that one must have said that you want to see the original agreement back on the table. the one that was outlined by us president joe biden, at the end of may. but you have to remember that benjamin netanyahu added several new conditions since then. and is really media is reporting according to anonymous official, that there has been some progress. there has been some movement, but there are still some jobs that need to be bridge. there are still tough
7:06 pm
sticking points from both sides. so israel is saying they're hoping mediator will put the pressure on how about as well, how much has said they want mediators to put the pressure on israel. still a lot of gaps left to bridge. nonetheless, as mediators still scramble behind the scenes to put together a deal before they meet again next week in cairo. okay, honda, so who's in amman? jordan, thank you very much. we're bringing in our white house correspondent, kimberly how good kimberly the u. s. as in the middle of all of this, right, the deal is being negotiated. that framework was laid out by joe biden. and now the details are also according to the mediators being provided suggested by the us. what are you learning on your end? if anything of the yeah, all we just heard from the us president in the oval office just moments ago. he was asked about how he's feeling about this progress in terms of where things stand and what he told reporters if it were closer than we've been. he doesn't want to in his
7:07 pm
words, jakes anything, but uh, closer then things have been even just 3 days ago. but we're not there yet. now. in terms of where things stand, terms of those finer details. that's what we're hearing from the national security council spokesperson. john kirby is really what is being worked out and what will be worked out in cairo. in other words, what uh, how things were left in the high. is that that a framework that was put forward by president by that and back in may, is still where things stand. but the implementation of it is the sort of nitty gritty, but still has to be worked out. and that is what the teams are going to work on when they resume their discussions next week in cairo. so what we also know from all of this, according to the national security council spokesperson, is that we may see some higher level involvement when those talks resume. what we
7:08 pm
know is that the president joe biden is going to be traveling to camp david over the weekend. we are hearing that he may be personally invested in some of those discussions moving forward. we also are hearing that there is a chance that the us secretary of state anthony blinking may also be traveling to the region. we know from the previous set of discussions that there was the involvement of the director, bill burns, as well as the middle east. sorry brent mckerick. kimberly, thank you very much for that. let's go to talk a couple of who's in darrow about inside the gaza strip. it did statement from the mediators has been put out about 2 hours ago. so i don't know of how much people in guys that palestinians have been able to hear about. it may be read it. i'm sure there is some level of awareness though, given the how central this is to their immediate future into this war. how do they feel about these talks of the well certainly in fact of
7:09 pm
palestinians here and um and the own government gets collection on the ground and be on top of the lands and area from bottom in the eyes as well. a heating to don't have to send to follow up all the latest developments in the political arena about on the latest updates regarding approaching to a ceasefire. the see how a the see, how mediators working around the clock in order to bridge the gaps with mark and isabelle to bring a will to make a ceasefire achievable. but at the same time, the belief that each valve has been grunted more time in order to complete its genocide, p and district. because they believe that these many prime minister benjamin netanyahu is to, is continuing and is also interested in putting a particular sentence at new challenges in the road or by cheating this view by putting very hot terms that could not be accepted by the company inside the at the same time, the believe that time these,
7:10 pm
these funded deals that cannot guarantee the return of display some of these to the news um to dropbox, west philadelphia, before we do is pull the vs through the month, palestinians, the one to return back to the houses the ones that completes this ation of full sorts of military apps in the ground. they do not want because we have been hearing from them that we can have one site uses the agreement, the later this phase or the 2nd phase could be for each and not to clean to the once a pool, some friends to see if i do come stops of blood chips here on the ground, especially that more than 40000 palestinians have been killed since day one of the fighting. this is the general sentiments here among palestinians who only think about the dates when they can. he unofficial and not about the approaching force. he spied deep. yeah, there is no deal until there is a deal. i think that's the general, the general point that some of our reporters were making as well. tar cowboys who reporting from darrow bella and central gaza. thank you very much for that. my one
7:11 pm
bushera is now is, is there a senior political analyst joining us by skype from paris? more one. what do you think about this statement about where it appears to leave us right now? let's look about the statements. in general. it's not expected to be anymore because the negotiations have not ended, but the sense of optimism does reflect the 2nd reality over the last 2 days, where they are bridging gaps. and it's not just the last 2 days. the fremont agreement that was proposed in may was worked on all the way through july, 2nd, when the class left by how much say, look, we agree to this, we are also, it made some concessions. now is there it has to agree to it since july. second we, there is some progress. but now the past 2 days, they were able to bridge the gap on most of the issues where most of these early seems to have made some concessions on the issue. of the ratio between hostages and
7:12 pm
detainees to it is right. it isn't part of sydney and that is held by his truck. come us a 3 point seems to be less 3 contentious points. and 14 point one that has to do with the finished density quarter door. but nothing you don't assist. that is really all your wants to maintain some form of a person's. there is an extreme uh, bass or line press right in the middle of guys a smack in the middle. but also the thing i wanted to mention in order to control the move on to the population from the north, back to the south, from the south back to don't know, many people wants to go back to their homes. that the now doesn't want them to you want on it, those over 65 percent. and the 3rd point had to do with the who wouldn't be in charge of the crossing. bidding in charge of all these goods are going to be come again after ceasefire is signed. seems that the americans have taking it
7:13 pm
upon themselves to deal with nothing, you know, and is route on the question of which study human the movement of population. and why is read really must withdrawal. it's uh that soldiers from the middle of garza, when it comes to philadelphia, this is more of an issue of concerns egypt because you know, egypt is the computer to solve with a peace agreement with is or out of. so it's going to be handled with this, right, and is it with the egypt and bid? is there any minute 30 as to the nature if any i've told how much rejects the presence of, i mean is really the presence and the for the record. and as far as that off crossing, that remains to be a bit of an enigma. these are, these don't want at the a f, a sitting at the heart of the presence, but certainly don't want to have much presence. there has to be seen whether the kind of seniors can work out some sort of some sort of a formula in the coming days where to buy it can be proved prevention provisional
7:14 pm
and workable a but more one visa. so these are all important um, what the mediators are referring to his details, right? important details within a possible framework agreement. but i'm still thinking about the main part of this agreement, which is, it's supposed to end the war. and until recently, you were still hearing from benjamin netanyahu. this, this war will not end until we've totally defeated home us. we've wiped the mouse, remove them from the guy the strip. and on the other hand, you still heard from us, we're not signing a deal that doesn't totally end the war. so that's, you know, that's the big. that's the really huge thing that they still seem to have no agreement on until recently. yes, absolutely. but listen, just to so it's a few and i can be on the same page. so it's very important for me that you are on the same page. this i'm not details, right? sure. i mean, whether there is or there isn't, is there
7:15 pm
a military presence in the middle of guys or in the soft bible guys? not for them that are crossing. this is my definition. one of the war could continue. so the occupation continues today as it has that i spend months, whether the real growth causes for the warranted. so it's a very important what's that happened with these very good for us. the details are more into how many, what day would it be released? and then how many would it be released and the 2nd week and what happens in terms of, is there any degree deployment during that time this, these are the details, these are the implementation. now i agree with you about the fact that even if this is stein the it, does this really mean that its own you know, read joyce about peace and stability. and actually, you know, i have always been saying that is right. has got got away with genocide and i don't think the traces of done southern goodness appear overnight. i don't think these
7:16 pm
rates are going to need guys overnight, and i don't think these ranges. i've got enough try to avoid or missed a chance to stay assessing x and y next week when there is a ceasefire. right? so the job, the chances for reckless behavior and the choices for this thing to be taught, the dogs and the child support is there a to walk away after the 1st phase, when most of its captives are released are very high. the americans have good thing . they got, and these that do the sinews and to the mediators that they, we worked with these really so i still not relaunch the war, but they seemed also given guarantees, split up and you know, that if he must read onto the war, then they're not gonna stand in his way, which means that a lot of these events you why that these are left them behind should be americans, which means that man, because of a sponsor, as the mediator on the box metal, is that we'd be directly indicating in the implementation of this 3 phase the
7:17 pm
agreements until it's fully implemented. also, is there a senior political analyst, molanda, shar, thank you very much. my one is still a head on al jazeera. i'm stephanie decker in the middle of kenya's mangrove. and we'll be telling you the story of how this community has come together to protect this vital eco system. the the as hello, some of the biggest sponsoring downpours in india had been around just on states over the past 24 hours. it has produced this flood and you get to have much rain that fast and certainly does clogged the streets with water. there is of concern. i think over the course of the weekend will be southern india, eastern india around the additional state in westbank all state for example. now
