the perfect example of that is george mitchell, where the militias, the unionists, the nationalists refused to put their arms down because they distrusted each other. and so he came up with something called the mitchell principles, which did not require them to drop their arms, but did require that the solution be a non violent solution. it was only nine years later that actually dropped their arms. stamina is another requirement. these marathons that ends end with a sprint. they last some times years and you have to have the stamina of a long distance runner and of a sprinter in order to succeed. this was clear at camp david where over 13 days and nights, jimmy carter averaged maybe 3 hours of sleep. the term shuttle diplomacy came from kissinger going between syria and egypt and israel for two weeks with almost no rest. and if i may say, only a few hours sleep for me at kyoto and the climate change agreements, the use of backchannels is critical. oftentimes parties are so anti that they won't get into the same. and so backchannels very useful in the 1993 oslo accords. they were used by jo

we remind ourselves frequently of what george mitchell said the day that the northern ireland peace process was concluded. he said these kinds of negotiations are 700 days of failure and one day of success. so there have been difficulties and setbacks. we've had challenges getting the prime minister across the line. we've had challenges getting come off as leaders and more across the line. but we're determined to keep at it. and the president this week in new york will be handling with other leaders to try to bring about us these foreign hosted seal and gaza. and really critically, to try to avert an all out war in the middle east. something that we have worked hard to avert since october 7 us that's bringing our white house correspondent kennedy hall kit now. so kimberly, what more has the white house said or reacted? how was it reacted to the continuous attacks that we've seen in lebanon over the course of the last 2 days? that will be message coming out of the by me administration has really been consistent, threw out these sustained ads to attacks that have been going back and forth bet

>> george mitchell is a great hero of mine. and he did the piece and the parties in northern ireland. negotiations for cease-fires and for peace are 1000 days of failure and wanted day of success. if you feel every day at it until finally. i believe that we will succeed. it is a question of when. because i think at the end of the day, there is no alternative. but for a cease-fire. leading to a political horizon for israelis and palestinians, like. but can i tell you what exactly is going to happen? i cannot. let me say this. we have seen again from over the weekend from israel. a willingness to step forward and do a deal. really, the eyes of the world. all those people calling for a cease-fire for this time in to train their eyes on hamas this week. it is time. come to the table. let us move forward with this deal. this is the best thing for people of gaza that are suffering and israel that deserve security. the best thing for the american people, as well. they want to see a shift to peace and stability in the middle east that

we remind ourselves frequently of what george mitchell said the day the northern ireland peace processhe said, these kinds of negotiations are 700 days of failure and one day of success. there have been difficulties and setbacks. we've had challenges getting the prime minister across the line. we've had challenges getting hamas' leader, sinwar, across the line. but they are determined to keep at it. the president this week in new york will be huddling with other leaders to try to bring about a cease-fire and hostage deal in gaza. really, critically, to try to avert an all-out war in the middle east, something that we have worked hard to avert since october 7th. >> let's talk about that, jake. it does appear for the most anyway that netanyahu and the idf have turpturned their atten, at least for now, up to he has hezbollah in the north, to lebanon. they've taken out members of hezbollah, civilians, as well. obviously, this comes after, not just months, but years of hezbollah attacking israeli civilians in the north of their own country. so what is the risk here? obviously, you have said

had two warring parties, the catholics and the protestants, the nationalists and the unionists, george mitchell, the u.s. mediator, didn't resolve the to fund a mental issues. what's the future of northern ireland? is it part of the irish republic or part of great britain that was left to a referendum? that's never happened to this day because the two parties are now in a peaceful relationship. the other was what happens to the guns the militias had. it took tony blair nine more years to do that. and the lesson is don't overshoot. and that's what i would say for the middle east. don't try to go all the way to a two state solution. build confidence, build economic relationships, create an environ in which the israeli public has confidence that the palestinians, they will be peaceful. ambassador eizenstat, when you're negotiating a treaty, is the first rule. how does this the united states always but it's not a poker game and one of the things that i point out in my book is that diplomacy, to be successful, has to be a win win situation. you have to put yourself in your opponent's position. there
