>> so denny ross was framed by the true killer? that is what you are saying? -- and dominic -- took to court. preparing for denny's trial number two is a daunting task. >> it turned out to be a 13 year investigation, so there was an awful lot of data. >> they assisted denny was innocent. the followed victim of all of that came down on the akron pd, when they feel defined hannah's car. >> once they found the bag of her, clearly outside the window, the case turned from an investigation into the death of hannah hill, into an investigation of denny ross. >> denny's lawyers told the police on all the things they feel to do, like chuck hanna's pager records, or do a luminol test at denny's place. they question how denny possibly could've killed hannah in his apartment and left no trace of the murder. >> no blood? no excrement? nothing that belonged to hannah hill, yet that is where they say she was murdered. >> as for the so-called new blood evidence, then his attorneys told evidence those spots were so hunting they did not prove anything. and also challenge the noti

. >>> i want to bring in dennis ross, he's the counselor for the washington institute for neri's policy, and msnbc senior director for the central region. also with me, senior analyst at the times of israel, ha vooef gur. thank you both for being here. dennis, now that this deal is in place, give us insights based on your experience. what are both sides likely doing now, right now behind the scenes? >> oh, i think they're preparing for what's going to happen tomorrow. it is fair to describe this as fragile, but it's also in each side's interests to see it happen. interestingly enough, it's probably in hamas's interest even more than israel's. it gives them a respite. they're going to get palestinian prisoners released as part of this. palestinian prisoners are having iconic status among palestinians. this will be something that will look like a game for hamas. they have every incentive to carry it out, and i expect that they will. but look, these arehe kind of things that they're never done until they're actually done. >> and haviv, i want to play a bit more of what one mother told our

now is chief international correspondent for the independent bell true, and former ambassador, dennis rossr for the washington institute for near east policy. welcome to you both. ambassador ross, i want to start with you. i think that the question on my mind, as i've seen all of this unfold over the last couple of days, what infrastructure actually needs to be in place to see this truce extend and more hostages released? yes, there's for lack of return, handshake agreement between all the proper parties, is there additional infrastructure that needs to exist? >> i think the key is, this is a deal that has been brokered largely by the countries with egyptian help in talking to the administration. so, i don't know that what we can talk some sort of sort of wider infrastructure of these negotiations. i suspect these are the parties that will be key to see whether not this can be extended. i think hamas, obviously, in my mind, has it in their interest to extend it. it gives them more of a respite. gives them more chance to -- take him immediately military pressure off of them. the israelis, e

ben rhodes, former deputy national security adviser in the obama administration and ambassador dennis rossl envoy to the middle east and distinguished fellow with the washington institute. so we've been reporting on a possible agreement for a couple of days now that would include the release of some of the hospitals in exchange for pausing the fighting of several days and also the release of palestinian women and children, prisoners in israel. what do you think is the final sticking point or points in reaching a deal? >> well, i think this has been brewing for some weeks now, andrea. i think when secretary blinken went to the region he talked to countries about this and working with qatar on this for some time and i'm sure part of what the u.s. was interested in was getting as many of these hostages out as possible in this negotiation recognizing that releasing all of them is probably not achievable at this time. at the same time this pause of several days, four or five days, is meant to father till state a significant amount of humanitarian assistance also getting into gaza, and alleviati

we are going to go now to msnbc foreign affairs analyst, dennis ross, who served as the flow person for the peace process during the clinton administration. david, staying on that point of what the idf, what david was noting, every day is going to be, potentially, different. every day, also based on what the idf is saying, it is creating a new operation. theoretically than, day three and day for, things should get smoother. and by the numbers that we have seen in terms of who should be released and at what pace, what we are seeing is 13 israelis expected again today. that is the same number as yesterday. we have seen 39 prisoners released from the idf, from israel. the same number as yesterday. we do our simple math, that gets us today. for that means that they fulfill the 50 1:50 ratio of release of both prisoners and hostages. does not follow, based on your experience? they potentially might get better at this as we get today three and a four? because they are repeating an operational agreement day-to-day? ational ag reemen day-to-day>> that would be a lol conclusion. i would have to

i want to bring in ambassador dennis ross, former nscc director for the central region, retired alsoal james stavridis, former naval supreme allied commander. thank you, gentlemen, for being with us today. ambassador, what are you watching for with this exchange of hostages? we were just talking to erin about the math of 240, maybe up to 100 not in the hands directly of hamas, but it's a group daily to be released. how are you seeing this? >> well, i'm looking to see, first of all, that the initial release takes place, which i think it will. i think we need to remember this is very much in hamas's interests. the pause is something that takes the immediate military pressure off them, and they were under an enormous military pressure. -- they're going to get palestinian prisoners released, and palestinian prisoners are iconic in palestinian society. this will be seen as a gain for hamas. they have a stake in this going forward. so i do expect it to go forward. again, the deal is not only to release them for four to five days, but as you've been saying -- and i just want to underscore t

heard this my contacts in the gulf and the moderate states of this was corroborated by an op-ed dennis ross"new york times" a couple of days ago. behind the scenes there is a silent agreement by moderate arab leaders they want israel to take care of hamas that actually what israel to go in there they want israel to take them out the modern arab world understands iran as a destabilizing force in the region and needs to be handled the way to handle them right now is to eliminate hamas there's not going to be a cease-fire there's not going to be pulling back there's not going to be anything until hamas is defeated that's just what needs to be happening israel cannot live like that anymore and neither should the u.s. mark: 's circle back briefly about the "new york times." given your position i'm sure you read these scholarly books there are three major books written about how the "new york times" covered up the holocaust. the "new york times" apologize for it in 2001 as a matter fact. the headline the "new york times" had when the hospital was not hit the parking lot next to the hospital was h

. >>> joining us is ambassador dennis ross, a former senior director at the national security councild retired -- ambassador, let me start with you, the tentative agreement is still not finalized. what would still need to be worked out? atould potentially upend this deem? deal? >> one is, it still has to be approved by the israeli cabinet. the military leadership and the military is in favor of this, and they're in favor because they feel a responsibility, having allowed these people to be taken in the first place, they feel a responsibility to make sure that anybody who can be released will be released. that's number one. number two, there's a sequence here. hamas is supposed to be releasing about 12 hostages per day. so what happens if they don't release the full 12? or what happens if they come back on day 2 or 3 and say, look, we can't find the others. they make the claim, which i'm sure in this case could be true -- that they don't have a lot of them. i'm quite dubious they will consolidate. it serves their interest to say, we need time. we may yet find that this is supposed to b

democratic caucus to talk about israel and hamas and brought in a number of different folks including dennis rosspeace negotiator for the region. i think the question is are these conversations going to turn to more legislative actions with more moderate members and which is why jake sullivan left room this morning. >> yeah, it's a really great point. and, brandon, what's also so notable is reference to a blank check is what we heard from republicans. some republicans have said, we don't want to write a blank check to ukraine. there's division among the parties. and you just heard congressman turner say he's not confident that they can get this big robust package done by the end of the year. what do you think? >> in the immediate attack on israel, it felt like it was going to be a matter of days and weeks before aid was passed through congress, and here we are, and we are no closer, and i think that the ukraine aid is the holdup. there are clearly divisions on israel and what that looks like is an open question. the president needed to use the leverage he had to israel to get funding for ukraine.

peacemaking, ambassador dennis ross, served as u.s. special envoy for mideast talks spending more than a decade under president george h.w. bush and president clinton. he also served as special assistant to president obama and is counselor at the washington institute for middle east policy. i want to pick up on where allie left off dh is the kind of shifting in the way in which the biden administration is communicating their policy. there certainly has been a marked shift in the way they're talking about it and talking with israel about it as well. what do you make of that as the prime minister of israel, bibi netanyahu looks to resume this conflict, this war? >> look, i think that the shift in tone reflects, i think, the reality that there is more pressure to try to bring about a cease fire, and the administration understands if you actually have a cease fire, not just the pauses that we're seeing, but if you have a cease fire, it's going to leave hamas in control of gaza. and if hamas is in control of gaza, you can talk about two sta
