i've been speaking with aaron david miller, a senior fellow at the carnegie endowment for internationaltment adviser who helped formulate us policy on the arab—israeli peace process. so, approval depending, the weapons sale is coming just a fortnight before president biden leaves office. how do you think his support for israel will factor into his legacy? i mean, it'll be mixed. on one hand, the administration will claim, perhaps rightly, that support for the israelis has created a situation where the so—called ring of fire — iran's proxies, hamas, hezbollah, and iran itself, frankly — right now are weaker than ever. and the administration has already made it clear that they believe that part of the reason the israelis have had so much success militarily is a consequence of that support. 0n the other hand, the president's legacy in gaza is going to be one that's increasingly fraught, and people are going to continue to ask questions why the president couldn't have used the extraordinary relationship and bond and support that he's mustered and given to israel to basically change the poli

jonathan altar, staff writer to the atlantic and msnbc political contributor mark leibovich and carnegie endowment senior fell aaron david. we will be doing two things, talking about president carter and the funeral that is being in washington. they're watching the motorcade right now. [ inaudible ] we're going to talk about donald trump and what [ inaudible ] and to start on that conversation i want to go to you mark. i'm having a hard time setting my own expectations for what to expect going forward because as we've already seen, donald trump is not yet even in office, but he's already trying to force people to accommodate him, force institutions institutions to accommodate him, force big business to saying th with fact-checking. you can say the fact-checking was never all that successful to begin with, but at the same time the message that zuckerberg and that company is sending, it's pretty clear. >> yeah. i mean, look, i mean i think if you want to sort of set expectations here, i mean you can go as far to the bad side of this as you want, but basically, how he wants to amass power. he's amass

questioner: michael nelson, carnegie endowment for international peace just next door. i focus a lot on international digital policies. some of the the biggest channels in dijal policy involve coordinating with other country, particularly brussels. do you have any lessons you have learned about how to deal with a place like the european commission where you have so many different agendas and so many different languages, so that often they think they have a consensus that you can challenge and negotiate with about but they don't. we've seen over and over where they require companies to do three different things which are mutually incompatible. for instance, protect personal privacy but make sure our police have all the data they need if something happens. so any wisdom on dealing with the european union? comm'r khan: i've really enjoyed getting to engage with international counterparts across the world. i think especially when it comes to digital markets this is an opportunity -- this has been a moment of kind of shared learning. different jurisdictions are all grappling

. >> joining us now, carnegie endowment for international peace, senior fellow and former arab-israelion david miller. all right. we've we've had this conversation before. does this time feel different? >> katie. it does. >> i mean, the signs and the signals i think are strong. >> the palestinians are sending their experts who deal with release of palestinian prisoners to doha. the israelis are sending signals to the ministries that deal with the absorption of hostages. so it feels as if it seems as if that this is the moment for an agreement. now what? it does not seem to me to be an agreement for is what i would call all for all. all of the remaining hostages freed according to a specific timetable in return for termination of the war and a permanent cessation of hostilities. that may be the language used in this agreement, but i think it's there's a long way to go before we see the end of the war in gaza. but for the 34 hostages, the israelis judge mostly are living in the initial humanitarian release, six week ceasefire, large numbers of palestinian prisoners, some of whom convicte

all of this, former arab-israeli negotiator at the state department, now senior fellow at the carnegie endowment f peace. aaron, we've all been watching this in real time. we do expect that president biden will speak, that the us and israel were, by agreement, letting qatar announce this first. as you can see, there's there are people are flooding the streets in tel aviv. there have been protests, large protests in recent days saying that netanyahu was not putting a high enough priority on getting the hostages out and to ending the war. what is your your perspective? i mean, you know, andre, governing is about choosing. >> it's about deciding what's important and what isn't. government is also about turning the m in me upside down. >> so it's a w. >> and we and i think with respect to the hostages, it's quite clear to me any, any, any relatively objective observer would, would basically say that current israeli government, particularly the prime minister who's world oriented around basically maintenance in power, on trial, on trial for bribery, fraud and breach of trust in a jerusalem district c

let's bring in former israeli consul general in new york, ambassador alon pinkas, also carnegie endowment for international peace senior fellow and former state department arab-israeli negotiator aaron david miller. alon, first to you, your reaction to this news? >> well, you know, any deal is a good deal, even if it's precarious, even if it's tenuous, even if it hinges on the durability or sustainability of a ceasefire, that is going to be very hard to enforce given the topography, given what remains of gaza, given hamas's lack of any command structure, and so any skirmish would constitute a violation of the ceasefire. >> all that said and done, katie, it's an agreement that should have been signed in march and again in may. >> i know you've said ayman said this and you said this in the last 15 minutes. this agreement is identical to the agreement that president biden presented in may and went to the extent of saying that this was presented to him by no other than mr. netanyahu, who 48 hours or 72 hours rather later reneged on it, as he habitually does when he manipulates political inter
