hamas is in the west bank, hamas is in the prisons hamas actually is wherever there are palestinians specifically in you, jordan and lebanon and syria and the gulf as there are other palestinian political trends you know, fatah still has the popular front for, the liberation of palestine has supporters. but if you're talking about the situation in gaza or the west bank today, they have joint operations, movements, sorry, joint operations rooms between the activist members of all of these organizations. so the situation is much more complex than what, you know, if if we're like a some ill informed senator up here and say, you know well, just got to support israel as. they as they demolish and destroy hamas in gaza you know that is just a recipe for the continuation. what i i think having studied a lot of genocides around the world that is a genocide and you know the way to end this through getting an iron clad lasting ceasefire. thank you. so rami, i'm going to turn to you. you know, the other word you mentioned besides humiliation was resistance. and a word that's come up a lot in, t

, topple hamas.ppened. hamas has been beaten resoundingly militarily. but as you can see in the footage of the hostage release, they're they're still there. they may be, uh, down, but they are not out. and and mr. netanyahu refused consistently to engage the u.s. this is the previous administration, the biden administration, in any kind of talks and negotiations on a postwar gaza framework. so right now, even if this works, even if this works, isabelle, we're looking at a complete political vacuum that israel will then say, well, look, hamas is taking over. of course, hamas is taking over because because israel did nothing to substitute hamas. well, of course they're armed because you didn't occupy the entire gaza strip. not that i'm saying not that i'm saying that that was a good idea. but i'm saying in terms of promising and pledging a total victory, that hasn't happened. so netanyahu wants to avoid all this, not to mention his political problems and the fact that he not once took responsibility fo

hamas itself is quite extreme. hamas is disputed how much islamic jihad is under its control. just that there was proof of life of that hostage that was probably intended to reassure the israeli side and to allow the israeli side and to allow the next phase is to go forward. hopefully she will be released very soon. that is also important for the step—by—step for the palestinians who need to get back to northern gaza to be able to do so.— back to northern gaza to be able to do so. there have been members _ able to do so. there have been members of — able to do so. there have been members of the _ able to do so. there have been members of the israeli - members of the israeli far right, this deal hasn't been popular with them from the very beginning. as we see more and more these palestinian detainees being released the criticism here, as it progresses into the next stages, which i could be even more difficult to implement. first let's be clear, the two extreme right extremist members of prime minister netanyahu is coalition have not been supportive. they were willing to give up

but hamas has lost a great deal. iran is weakened by israel's strikes against retaliatory strikes against iran, which were the iran strikes were not successful. with the help of the u.s. military, jordanian and other militaries in the region, and iran has lost a lot of military power and key air defenses. the collapse of the syrian regime, the transformation of the middle east in these past months by the israeli military, israeli intelligence targeted assassinations for all. the criticism has weakened hamas, for despite the show of force that you've seen in these hostage releases, where the fighters are coming out of the woodwork, coming out of the tunnels, hamas is regrouping. that's another big fear. but so far the deal has held, and 183 palestinians released. now, as we're told here, i'm told by my colleagues, by your colleagues over there that that part of the deal has held as well today. >> and we. >> know that the. >> next several phases of the deal. >> still incredibly fragile. >> and that comes. >> as. you ha

wejust have the will be released by hamas. we just received have the will be released by hamas. last half hour or so from the last half hour or so from the qatari foreign ministry who had been mediating the talks between israel and hamas, that hamas would hand over arbel yehud and according to the qatari foreign ministry, they will allow displaced palestinians to return to northern mum —— northern gaza beginning monday morning and thatis beginning monday morning and that is a confirmation from the israeli prime minister the arbel yehud will be released alongside a soldier, and another hostage. the prime minister's office says sir keir starmer has spoken on the phone with president trump. they discussed the importance of working together for security in the middle east, as well as issues related to trade and the economy. the two leaders have agreed to meet soon. here in the uk, a 19—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a vehicle was driven at a police officer in greater manchester. it happened at a retail park on wilmslow road in cheadle, on satur

-- by hamas. over the past several months i have provided examples, some stretching back decades of unrwa 's complicity and its employee'' participation in terror. allow me to remind you of a few. unrwa is supposed to play a critical role in the education of palestinians. it has certainly played a role, but only a toxic one. in both 2017 and 2021, israel discovered hamas terror tunnels running directly under two unrwa schools in gaza. in 2023, when we entered gaza, we found out that those tunnels remained operational, despite the letters and the requests years prior to that. the principals of these schools were confirmed hamas operatives. again, this is far from an isolated example. just last year, israel provided over 100 names of unrwa employees were verified members of hamas. unfortunately and addictively, these claims -- and predictably, these claims were dismissed without investigation. perhaps most shockingly, on october 7, an unrwa employee kidnapped an israeli civilian. this terrorist retu

this was absolutely hamas propaganda.so behaved abominably, to be honest with you. israelis were... why? because israelis were told and were warned that these women were in a very fragile state, that there would be no access to them before they got into closed hospital rooms, that they wouldn't even be able to see their families. there was all kinds of caution put out there, and at the end, the israeli government, what is called the government press office cameras, which is... the government press office is a branch of the israeli prime minister's office. they were waiting for these women literally behind the hospital doors. ifound this to be prurient and verging on the obscene. so these women, these young women, even if they were asked for their permission, were in no position to give it. so imagine the situation with these families, the tension, you know, lack of clarity in their situation. i don't know, i have no evidence to suggest that they did or did not give permission, but even if they were asked to give permissio

we're waiting for hamas to release an israeli american man. he has been held hostage since the october 7th attacks. we're looking at live pictures right now of what's taking place in gaza city. we see the red cross there. they're expected to take signal from hamas and take him to israeli officials now. a short time ago, hamas handed two other hostages to the red cross. israel says calderon and the other released hostage, yarden bibas, are now back in israel. so as we look at these live pictures of what we're expecting momentarily to be the release of keith siegel. i want to go now to cnn correspondent jomana karadsheh, who's watching from amman, jordan. again, the contrast with this scene that we're seeing right now compared to what we saw thursday, is absolutely striking. take us through what you're seeing. >> well, as you mentioned there, kim, what we're seeing now appears to be a preparations for the imminent handover of american israeli hostage keith siegel to the red cross. we have seen the icrc representatives and vehicles arrive at the

there is now to be a process of negotiation between israel and hamas to get into two, hamas to get ustain this will the thet thie {hill eehfihue the for that is reason for that is that although there is huge pressure for it to happen, there is pressure, significant pressure, particularly on the of the particularly on the edge of the net in her who, on what you net in herwho. on what you call far right groups would call far right groups here run two men, touch and itamar ben—gvir, and they have the power to government down, so how the governmentdowh. sd how get through this, how 7t°7 .. . 7 to7have the7 7 7 to7have the7government not to have the government brought down, but also the overwhelming majority of israelis want to the israelis want to see the brought back. there is hostages brought back. there is not unanimity of opinion here about what exactly the next step should be. adding to that president tran comrie he president tran comrie says he wants to be a peacemaker, has taken a huge amount of credit, heard their earlierfrom heard their earlier from a we heard their earlier from

but, you know, hamas today is not the same hamas that was in power before october 7th, you know?he a leadership, they're all dead by now. thankful to the work of the idf. but they don't have the capabilities to threaten us. but we have to continue the mission to finish the job, and that means that we have to make sure that hamas is not -- in gaza anymore. if they will stay in power, it's only a matter of time before the next attack. jonathan: and, mr. ambassador, if we can move north to lebanon. some problems -- i gather that the lebanese if army fulfilling its role near the border area there. how is that playing out. >> first of all, we will comply with the agreement, we will respect the agreement. we want to move out of lebanon, but the agreement state very clearly that the lebanese military must come in and take the positions. we cannot allow hezbollah to regroup and -- [inaudible] so we expect the military to move move faster. that that's why i think we need a little more time to allow the lebanese military to get organized and take the positions that we are advantage ate wha

there also questions about there are also questions about �* hamas there are also questions about �*hamase war? i the war? i trust president trump- — the war? i trust president trump- he _ the war? i trust president trump. he is _ the war? i trust president trump. he is the - the war? i trust president trump. he is the one - the war? i trust president trump. he is the one in i the war? i trust president - trump. he is the one in charge. he may this deal was he may show this deal was signed. he is making sure that through. we look at him it goes through. we look at him we him for he = 2 22 w2e2te2ll22 2 2 22 22 2 22 rigours" 22 22 2 2 warns; 22 we tell him not to stop did. we tell him not to stop until the last hostage has come home. this war finally —e we know it is a2very hard ends. we know it is a very hard to do hamas being a horrible terrorist organisation. it care organisation. it doesn't care the lives of about tnelreeeert�*he and with about tnelreeeort�*he and with our hostages. and with our government, politics in some in israel way. some ministers in israel want to resume the war

why are they saying that hamas have breached the deal?all boils down to the fate of one particular civilian hostage, arbel yahud. she is 29 years old. it was widely expected and reported in the israeli media over the past week that she would be released yesterday. but on friday night, when hamas gave the list of the four women to be released, she wasn't on it. and in fact, they were four soldiers. so israel says that hamas has basically undermined the deal, which says, in essence, that civilians should be released before soldiers. so what's happened is israel says that as a result, they are stopping all those palestinian families in the south of gaza, moving to the north. they were getting ready to to make that move with all the possessions they still have. so what has happened now is that hamas have said, "well, actually, she'll be released next weekend." and hamas and islamichhad, another militant group, have apparently provided proof of life for this civilian. and so it would seem now we're waiting too for the israelis to say whether o

hamas is shows they're still in charge.o as national security adviser in which hamas stays in charge of gaza at which time you've got to think they're going to to go back to fighting unless something else a happens. a lot will be discussed of substance when prime minister netanyahu comes to the oval office this week and has the first one-on-one with president trump as president. rachel: yeah. and we're just all waiting to hear what has happened to the two brothers, an infant and a toddler who were taken, it's just heartbreaking. and one wonders why they weren'- released in the ceasefire deal. there must be a reason behind that and, hopefully, we'll get to the bottom of that. it's just too much. i want to move to this because today is kind of, like, you know, happy tariff day, right in.

part of an evil reality show that hamas is enjoying.i said, they will do everything to make us suffer. and i hope we'll get this list soon and we'll know who's alive and who isn't. and hopefully we can put an end to it soon. your little nephew, just three and a half years old, his dad has been taken hostage, his mother was killed. people will probably want to know, how is he possibly doing at this moment? three—and—a—half—year—old boy. he's happy. he's enjoying himself. he's doing things he isn't supposed to do, but there are a lot of moments where he misses them. when he whenever he sees a woman with long hair, he asks if she'll pick him up he's doing things he isn't supposed to do, but there are a lot of moments where he misses them. when he whenever he sees a woman with long hair, he asks if she'll pick him up because this is what his mum used to do. he keeps asking if or is really coming back. he cries when he sees parents coming to pick up their kids from kindergarten. he misses them. he misses 0r. he wants to be a normal kid. the

you have relations with hamas, hamas leadership has been destroyed. the infrastructure been destroyed. the whole idea of the axis of resistance, these militia groups, these substate actors that we're going to push back against israel, against the gulf arabs, american interests, it all seems to be much, much weaker than it was before. i'm sure you're going to disagree so tell me why. >> well, first of all, let me make two points because we don't have much time. first point, in 1982, if you can remember, sharon invaded lebanon, pushed all the way in beirut. because in 78 he pushed all the way to the river and order to prevent the palestinians from getting into israel. and then in 82 he went all the way to beirut in order to basically decimate the palestinian resistance. if you remember, he sent -- to exile. so what happened? from 1981-1987 islamic jihad was born in 81. 81. hezbollah was born in 82, and hamas was born between 85 and 87. so i wouldn't suggest anybody to start rejoicing over destroying hamas, hezbollah, or the palestinian resistance or to

you have relations with hamas, hamas leadership has been destroyed.unnel infrastructure has been destroyed. the whole idea of the axis of resistance, this these militia groups, these substate actors that were going to push back against israel, against, you know, the gulf arabs, perhaps american interests. it all seems to be much, much weaker than it was before. i'm sure you're going to disagree. so tell me why. >> well, first of all. let me make two points, because we don't have much time. first point. in 1982, if you can remember, sharon invaded lebanon pushed all the way into beirut in order to basically decimate the palestinian resistance. if you remember, he sent arafat to exile to tunisia. tunis. so what happened from 1981 to 1987, islamic jihad was born in 81. hezbollah was born in 82. and hamas was born between 85 and 87. so i wouldn't suggest anybody to start rejoicing over destroying hamas, hezbollah or the palestinian resistance, or to cutting iran's arms. because the resistance will stay as long as the occupation stays. i think right now, a

it's been entirely focused on simply destroying hamas. without building up confidence and the rest of the palestinian population and without separating if you will need terrorists in the local population. as a result he predicted very early on on my program israel have to keep going back into each of these towns again and again. that does seem to be what has happened. how would you get out of that cycle without trying to in some way give the palestinians in gaza the confidence they have a leadership they feel is legitimate? >> as leaders in the region who clearly identify a unique historic opportunity the trajectory is clear the trajectory is the acceptance of israel in the region and the development of the middle east for better future. there is one thing in his comments that and my mind on a certain naÏvetÉ in the way you focus on it. the truth of the matter is those soldiers were shot in the infrastructural event in gaza. meaning in so many houses there were tunnels leading to the command and control centers of hamas to places where ho
