again, these releases have taken place in northern gaza, in southern gaza. sometimes, you know, two locations for the very same day. and that's likely an indication of where those hostages were being held until the moment when they were released. basically, hamas coordinating with the red cross to pick the location that allows for the quickest release of those hostages with the least number of variables that could interfere between when they are taken out from the place where they are being held captive and brought to the custody of the red cross. so this is likely an indication that they were being held in central gaza or somewhere near there, or at a minimum, that this was kind of the easiest point from which they could be released. today. we know that every time they have been released from gaza, whether it was southern part of the strip, northern part of the strip, ultimately they are being driven to israeli forces along the gaza border and then being driven to the military base in israel, just a few miles away from the gaza border. that is where they ha

we could have a return to fighting in gaza.resident trump on thursday signed an executive order putting sanctions on the international criminal court. they assisted in investigating the u.s. and its allies. neither israel nor the u.s. is a member of the court or recognizes its jurisdiction. in advance of that executive order, the court condemned greece, italy, and france for failing to apprehend netanyahu during his time in transit to the u.s. they reminded all state parties that they are legally obligated to fully cooperate with the icc including by arresting individuals sought by the court. this extends to their entire territory. to talk more about that, i enjoyed in the studio by our north american correspondent. he appeared to double down on that plan. of the u.s. taking control of gaza. was he clear in how he intends to do that? >> no details. it was vague. it is kind of a paradox. it is worth remembering that the plan breaks international law because it requires israel to forcibly remove people from gaza. it involves the

we heard from him on gaza and talking about moving palestinians out of gaza while it was being rebuilt before the prime minister of israel even arrived here at the white house this afternoon. and then again, president trump repeated that sentiment when he was sitting, sitting next to him in the oval office talking about this idea that it is going to take 10 to 15 years to rebuild gaza. and he was framing it through a humanitarian perspective, initially saying that essentially, it's not livable in gaza because of all of the israeli strikes and how destroyed the area has been, which we already know, given how displaced the millions of people who do live there already have been over the last 16 months, as this war has been going on since hamas attacked on october 7th. but the question is what that looks like. and people were also raising the question of what an explosive sentiment this would be, certainly in the middle east. to one say that people should move out of their homeland, which gaza is for the palestinians, but two, also the suggestion that neighboring countries should take them

can i ask you about your gaza? can we ask about your gaza proposal? >> a lot of people are talking about. >> obviously. >> it got a lot of attention. >> everybody loves it. but this is just not the right time. but we'll maybe do something later. this is a very important and in my opinion, solemn occasion. >> so the president there what i wanted to key on is everybody loves it. the president often takes questions. he was not effusive in taking questions in this moment. we expect to hear from him again later in the day. but his initial response was everybody loves it. clearly there are many, even in his own party, who are raising serious questions about it. at the same time, the speaker of the house is being supportive and there are reverberations around the world and this plan. some might see it as a land grab, a kind of colonial expansion, very unlike what the united states typically would do in this kind of an action. and so, is it a real idea or is it a provocation to somehow get some other benefit or response from nations in that region? >> andrea

some of the prisoners are being released to gaza. this is khan yunis in gaza. some of the prisoners are being released to ramallah in the west bank. ramallah is essentially the de facto acting capital of the west bank. the palestinians will tell you that jerusalem is the capital and under the disputed state of jerusalem, both the israelis and the palestinians claim jerusalem as their joint capital. effectively, though, most government organizations and agencies are in tel aviv for israel, and the similar situation exists in ramallah for the palestinians. joining me now, aaron david miller, senior fellow at carnegie endowment for international peace, former senior advisor for arab-israeli negotiations at the state department. stephen cook joins me as well. he's a senior fellow for middle east and africa studies at the council on foreign relations. good morning to both of you guys. aaron, i'm amazing that we are at the fifth week of this. israel and hamas have a commitment to continue a longer lasting truce. boy, donald trump threw a wrench into the works earlier

owning gaza. who owns gaza now, and how would the u.s. acquire ownership. sec.vitt: gaza is currently run by iranian backed terrorists, hamas who, i think everybody in the region agrees can no longer stand. look at the events of october 7 and the events since. the president again, is committed to rebuilding the region for all the people who want to return to it once it is no longer a demolition site and it is the place where people can actually live and thrive in harmony, as he said last night, "his words, not mine. the president has made it clear they need to be temporarily relocated out of gaza for the rebuilding of this effort. again, at the demolition site, not a livable place for any. human being and i think it's quite evil to suggest people should live in such conditions. reporter: the president will be meeting with governor abbott of texas and governor newsom of california. it comes after the president took executive action and turned the water back on in california. or can you tell us about the two meetings and the importance of tonk's actions to help pe
