daniel levy is the president of the u.s.middle east project and and former peace negotiator with the palestinians at taba under prime minister ehud barak and at oslo b under prime minister yitzhak rabin. we will be linking with him in a moment. ♪ [music break] amy: sung at many of the jewish resistance protests calling for cease-fire now. this is democracy now! i'm amy goodman with juan gonzalez. our guest is daniel levy, president of the u.s.-middle east project. former peace negotiator with the palestinians. juan: daniel, i wanted to ask you about just announced in the last few hours this truce. in an interview recently, you said "my sense is the israeli's are always trying to get another day and another day and third day of operations before agreeing to a deal." we have heard now of the potential truce for two weeks and each day we kept hearing that was imminent, but what has israel been able to do during that time? >> well, unfortunately, the answer is an awful lot of additional damage, civilian loss, children being kill

daniel levy off all for all this is something that we heard at the beginning of the of the war from us said we'll give you all your captives and guys give us all our palestinian prisoners in jails. and do you think that this is an idea that is really even willing to entertain at this point or kind of be pressured into it either domestically or internationally or it's an important variable. ready what you just raised for us to rate this idea at all for all of these being discussed, it's actually polling surprising the highly. i haven't got the numbers in front of me amongst these re lease. i don't know if that's where we will go. i don't see that speak immediate next step, 3 bottles. so we, we have to consider that only is really side a moment, at least the political, the military leadership to say, well, even if we go that we're still going to continue the military operation. so i think what would have to be in bed in any kind of package and how much on the sands that the soldiers is holding all the stuff i guided you last was in terms of the negotiation deal, but it would have to incl

there are people i've seen along the way, daniel levy, you'll see bailing, whom i ventured interviewed, you know, leading is really government officials who have also had concern for this in a way there. and. and so they could play on both sides and look at the whole without looking at a one has to win and the other has to lose. does that make sense? it does. and what's interesting and the difference between a receipt to leave any auto more and a o. c, for instance, that and you'll see and also summer lea, who 11 election in 2022. both of them said that they had really never spent any time thinking about this issue in 2018. and you'll see that this kind of famous flop of in their interview were afterwards. and actually in, in the interview she said look, she's kind of just gave up. she's all right. i'm not an expert on joe politics like this isn't my issue. and like later talked about, she said, you know, this, this wasn't something that for puerto rican families in the bronx, was just discussed around the kitchen table. and so there is a reflects of kind of sympathy for the occupied r

we can now speak to daniel levy who is the president of a you estimate lease project. and a former is really negotiator. he's turning us from london, thanks for your time with us on alpha 0. so in the days that followed the october 7 attack time, us was blamed for the killing of approximately 1400 is really, isn't an israel has use this in part to justify its ongoing military war on gaza. now that this police investigation points to the fact that i'm asked may not have targeted the festival, and israel killed some of their own does not change anything in israel's wall and gaza. do you think i the nazis rate is 3 and i think that's quite clear. yeah, i think this is an important piece of information that has come to life possible. i don't think any one with all of that. the civilian casualties were exclusively from the fire as best, but sometimes schools that were supposed to be is route getting all these rates. undoubtedly the acts carried out by the resistance groups across the board out. i don't think i was very surprised at the switch which they were able to break t

>>> the middle east project and israeli peace negotiator during the oslo accords in the 1990s, daniel levyk you for being with us. let's talk about the other people we're hoping and praying for them, a lot of them women and children, little kids, grandparents as well. the u.s. says it appears that they are close to a deal. israel and hamas, to release a group of them. talk to me about the ins and outs here. what makes this so complicated? >> can i just first say that those images, katy, if that's not reason enough for those who oppose the cease fire, including unfortunately the president of the united states to change their position to 4 1/2 thousand palestinian children who have been killed since october 7th, i'm at a loss. i don't know what is. now, there's a link between that and the question you asked me regarding this prisoner release, because in the absence of the u.s., the country with the most leverage, the closest to israel, pushing for a cease fire, perhaps the onramp to ending this hell is this prisoner release, and all the things i'm hearing, katy, is as you said, as you've rep

let me bring in daniel levy. daniel is the president of the us middle east project, and a former is really negotiate or you're joining us from london as a former negotiator. you just heard what i said, and this latest reporting, this is coming from is really tv channels. what's your reaction? i've not done the substitution negotiations just just to copy out that 0. yeah, well look, we could have a do you feel joy? is that not only on the human level to these people, these is riley's the 13 in this fest punch. it seems and ties today as well. we'll be getting out on the human level that gaza is not subject to bombardment. we will not see the devastation of the last weeks, at least to full days. we must not return to it. maybe we'll come back to that palestinians who have been held in his right presence will be re united with that family. so that's, that's one on the human level. slightly different level. we are now apparently ready in the proof of concept that you can have a negotiate to release. you can have a sec

them their supporters naturally and rather even as an unarmed example, here’s one of our partners, daniel levyyou know, today i made a mistake with my ethnicity once in a conversation , so you were mistaken and i won’t be mistaken, i’m talking about levy, i know perfectly well he heads the organization , which is called the usa and the islamic world, that is, he deals with the relations of the usa with the islamic world and here he is, we correspond with him, one of many with whom i correspond in these conditions, a lot of letters come, here he is directly wrote that hamas is a political organization, it should be viewed as such and dealt with in that way, and offers to work with it , to contact it, like many others, another... very well-known figure, specialist in the region, daniel kurtser, of the same ethnicity, former us ambassador to israel, yesterday forren efeys wrote, wrote an article called netanyahu must leave, he believes that now the main path to a solution lies in his cabinet all leaving, not the palestinians leaving, and so that tanehu does not leave with his ministers, i don’t k

in the media fahim we heard what jonby had to say there, but guess we have story. uh featuring daniel levi israeli government has america where it wants it on the question, the military assault on gaza itself to the extent to which maybe and and i may have been part of that nativity, we thought there was american action behind the scenes to actually try and get to that seasfire. i think it's been clarify that that's not the case. america is actively working to prevent a ceasefire. president biden has gone onto the pages of the washington post to make that clear. now in the... assault, i think america is already part of this war. the crickle of humanitarian aid is matched by a flood of weapons going to israel, so america is directly have long been saying that the was the americans that were directing the war, so well even our previous guest mentioned as well, like you know how people have been brainwashed, he himself has said the same thing, and at the same time people are now realizing that you know it's you know a different type of... of uh narrative and story that is in the media, that i

. >>> now, let's discuss blinken's shuttle diplomacy with daniel levy, the president of the u.s. middle east project. good to see you, daniel, thank you. the -- at best, what can come out of this? in a sense, when you have the u.s. that is not prepared to go along with the arab countries' call for a cease-fire, pr preferring to call it a pause or a humanitarian pause, even that seems unlikely. so what purpose do you think it serves? >> it's an important question, richard. i think it's eminently reasonable to say that after the attack on israel on october 7th, israel had to take action. now, i think, many people who secretary blinken has met with in the region would say, listen, first of all, mr. secretary, this is the neglect of years of allowing the palestinians to live without their rights and freedoms and we need to address that, but okay, we understand that happens after. number two, mr. secretary, you don't resolve these issues militarily. hamas is an armed movement, but it's also a political movement that's won elections. it's also an idea. opressed people take up arms. now,

>> daniel levy, president of the u.s. middle east project, always good to talk to you, thank you so much. >> thank you. >>> emotions were pouring out as palestinian prisoners arrived home after release from israeli prisons. still ahead, an emotional welcome and tearful family reunions in the occupied west bank. >>> plus we'll get insight about the treatment of palestinians in israeli prisons. >>> the gulf nation of qatar which was instrumental in mediating the hostage deal negotiations says it's hoping to extend the truce beyond the agreed-upon four days. meantime, it's trying to multiple fronts to keep the current deal going. the qatari foreign affairs ministry spokesperson told cnn he's working with senior qatari officials to alleviate concerns from both sides that the other is not living up to the agreement. he also says he's working with israel, hamas, egypt, and the u.s. to ensure the agreed-upon number of aid trucks is reaching gaza. and as we've been reporting, aid groups say 61 trucks arrived in northern gaza satu

daniel levi made the point yesterday and it's a smart point that this is a deal that bibi netanyahu hadmake. he's facing increasing opposition to himself inside of his own country, protests, people marching against him including families of some of these hostages. the humanitarian catastrophe just described is exploding protests around the world. there's a lot of pressure and i assume the biden administration feels the pressure as the u.s. is owning some of this as well. talk about the imperatives for him to make this deal and what it means to him politically. seems the more hostages that come out, particularly as all the israeli citizen hostages come out, there's no deal for the other nationality hostages. there's no more incentive to stop the bombardment. >> yeah. look, honestly we have known about an offer to release the hostages through negotiations, through mediation really from almost the first couple of days of this war. there was a cell that was created immediately after october 7th to begin the process of trying to diplomatically release these hostages. so it was very early on

in this case, i would like to quote one very famous analyst, daniel levy, who writes a lot about thes some kind of existential threat. he says: i don't think hamas is that kind of threat to israel. but i am absolutely sure that radicalism, extremism is a real threat to israel. and unfortunately, if we look at this coalition, the last one that was created by netanyahu, then , you know, this is really a terrible threat for israel itself, they immediately split society around a reform that, frankly, was beneficial only to them, they behaved in a completely provocative manner towards the palestinians, who, so to speak, live in eastern jerusalem, all this that happened around aliaksa, they supported and incited the settlement movement against the palestinians, this is a terrible force in israel, by the way, too, these are wild radicals, if i have one minute , i can say what i was shocked by, not that they oppose, there is one , unfortunately, but not that, well, well, not that they oppose the palestinians, but in israel, which in principle was created by socialists , one of these armed se

we've heard from daniel levy who, you know, is a full month's rent in negotiation. and he was saying that there's a very big gap between what the usaa saying to as well and private and what they're saying and public, and that it needs to reduce that gap. because as well as playing with that situation and it's ben booth when people do think that's the case. well, it is possible, obviously i'm not privy to the conversations that they're having. but this is common diplomacy that you have you say one thing that are public and you say something else are the stakeholders and the leadership of the stakeholders. but that's quite possible. but in the end though, we for cathy trying to interpret what we don't know, but we've, what we see is that there are, there's a talk about escalation again. and, and it seems that the whole truth is predicated on the fact that they want to get to prison a result the cap is out and that, so we understand that for what happens after we cannot have this discourse without thinking of the future salon, sir. and this conflict, the unprecedented

middle east project, daniel levy, an israeli negotiator with the palestinians at taba under prime minister barack in 2021, and oslo b in 1995 under prime minister yitzhak rabin. thanks for being with us. it's hard to come out of what raf just said and to consider what that little girl has been going through and what she will continue to go through. but let's try to keep the big picture here. we're all waiting for this deal to begin. what could still derail it? unfortunately, that's the right question to ask. we're hours away from the beginning of the implementation, the releases, the beginning of the pause. i fear it's not going to be a simple night in gaza either. that there may well be serious israeli strikes as there have been in the last 46 days. tonight, there could be something that upsets the deal. i think during the implementation of the deal, it's going to be very fraught as well. there are a lot of details. both sides are going to have to adhere to those details for us to get through these four days, and then the question is, will we be able to see more of these israelis being he
