and this is a way of hamas for hamas to show that that is not the case, at least not yet. but right now, a very emotional scene in hostage square, as i'm watching people, you know, tears in their eyes, grasping their faces, a moment of relief. but also, again, a moment of horror as they see that hamas, the group that perpetrated that terrible massacre on october 7th, the fact that they are still in charge, that they are still showing these shows of strength after more than 15 months of war. >> so, jeremy, as we see those two prisoners, or levy and ohad ben ami, standing on the stage there with those hamas fighters and jeremy, we've seen varying degrees of of chaos or order with these handovers here. it seems pretty orderly, at least for now. we'll see what happens when they are escorted to those red cross vehicles and drive away. sometimes those are the scenes that we've seen. unfortunately, with the crowds surging and potentially endangering those hostages who are being released. but here it seems at least fairly orderly. and this does have repercussions for the deal. >>

hamas looks very much in control. this is a militant group and a political group which has taken a battering over the last 15 months, along with gaza as well. but yet this group or this group of militants are there with their masks and their weapons. and if you look at the images there from gaza, this is a very controlled scene. this is a group which seems very much in control and very much still able to function in a very much dysfunctional place right now. >> absolutely, john. and ultimately, these negotiations are between israel and hamas. it is hamas that is on the other side of the negotiating table. even if indirectly. however, prime minister netanyahu was expected to send negotiators, mediators to continue and enter into that phase two of these talks. earlier this week. instead, he was, of course, in washington, d.c., shaking hands with president trump. so, for his part, he has made clear that he doesn't see the path forward for this conflict through doha or the arab capitals where these negotiations are taking

of gaza, hamas is weakened, but hamas still standing.e reality is both the lack of pressure by president trump on benjamin netanyahu and the conditions in gaza that hamas continues to exist in gaza tells me that we could see benjamin netanyahu resuming the war in a few weeks, prolonging the first phase. just very briefly, though, i mean, donald trump came to office promising to end the war. surely he will not want to see that resume. and also, is hamas really going to negotiate itself out of a position in gaza? i think you're absolutely correct. between president trump and prime minister netanyahu basically would focus on the cease fire, on turning in fact, what what donald trump did was so incomprehensible, truly irrational, by throwing an idea, an irrational idea, instead of really keeping the focus on making sure that the second phase goes on. and secondly, in a sense, hamas will never, ever, everaccept basically exiting gaza. it has made it very clear, i don't know if you've seen the sign today, that the morning after, we are the mor

that hamas people.. mr trump says israel will hand the strip over and its population is resettled elsewhere. israel has ordered its army to start preparing to allow about the future of gaza, where the un estimates around two thirds of buildings have been destroyed or damaged after 15 months of fighting. dr khamis elessi is a doctor specialising in neuro—rehabilitiation and pain medicine. past fifteen months. over the past 16 months, the gaza strip has seen unprecedented destruction in all the hospitals, streets, infrastructure, human life, starvation, suffering, nightmares, all of it, you name it. what is happening in gaza is unprecedented on an international scale. a7,000 palestinians have lost their lives. two—thirds are women and children. 20% of them are children under the age of permanent disabilities and a500 amputations and for this all station reason, more organisations like who, unicef, say it is a large these mums are really looking at pictures as we are talking be done in the coming months? t

can you defeat hamas? the answer is yes. israel is actually quite close to defeating hamas. an approach that basically focuses on creating an alternative administration in gaza, we will be stuck where we are. i'll just add one point here. david petraeus said early on during this war, israel had to adopt the strategy that ultimately we did, which was you clear an area, you hold an area, you build an area. and in that context, you make the local population secure. israel chose not to adopt that strategy. so we've seen the israelis, they've been back in jabalia four times. they've been back in beit hanoun five times because they didn't adopt the clear hold and build strategy. they didn't create an alternative, a palestinian alternative that could emerge, that would feel secure. if you're going to do that, that's where you're going to need this kind of external administration. so it's not impossible, but it's obviously difficult. >> yeah, i mean, i and history doesn't show me at least many cases in which that administration from foreign, you know, even like, you know, the arab l

tom: hamas accuses israelis of violations and israel throughout this has accused hamas of mistreatingnd so on. it was always going to be a fragile, difficult, complicated process between two sides who detest and distrust each other. there were always going to be these problems. it seems from the hamas statement they are leaving the door open to resolution before the proposed release saturday. i think it takes us to the wider issue of where this process was supposed to lead. under the biden administration there was meant to be a third phase, the day after the war. the u.s. at that stage was suggesting a moderate palestinian or arab control of gaza. that end point has been blown out of the water by the trump administration saying, no, this will not happen, but the u.s. will buy or take control of and sees the gaza strip, and run it and build properties. it leads to a point where we do not have an end point of this three-phase process that can be backed internationally that is equally viable. sumi: the jordanian king will be in washington. what do you think we can expect? tom: king abdul

wing of hamas. and this statement is coming from hamas, the political movement, saying in a statement that they are issuing this statement five days ahead of time in order to give the mediators, quote, sufficient time to pressure israel to fulfill its obligations, making clear, as they say here, that this quote leaves the door open for the exchange to proceed as planned. so perhaps not a walk back, but making clear that this is a threat that hamas is making here that could be averted should the mediators and should israel take action to remedy some of these violations that hamas is alleging? and so i think it's clear that while this represents perhaps the most serious threat to the ceasefire that we have seen so far, in particular because it comes at such a sensitive time in israel, following the images of those three emaciated, newly released hostages on saturday, it's also quite clear that this is a threat by hamas and something that could be addressed by the mediators. we know, of course, that in

they are prisoners of hamas. they are subjects of hamas. they cannot live in a situation into the future where if you step out of line you and your family get murdered and killed. they cannot live in a place that is governed only by violence and hatred. president trump is saying let's change the whole picture of the region. you've seen other parts of the middle east that have turned into incredible zones of economic opportunity, with the right governance and the right approach. this can be done here, and the people who are afraid of trying something new are trying something different are locked-in to a system that has only ever produced failure and heartbreak. how many years, john, have you had the same conversation? your whole career. how many breaking news segments, john, have you had during your storied career about bloodshed and massacre in that region? how many times -- at what point do we say we have to change the whole equation? that is what president trump is talking about. >> john: and to your point, stephen, we were showing pictur

and hamas.this barbaric, cynical terrorist group. they want to hold on to some of these hostages because that's their leverage, their insurance card. we have to hope that they're willing to enter into that second stage and run those negotiations that can bring us there. >> mhm. i mean, you brought up those dramatic meetings certainly trump's statements dramatic to say the least, throwing everything into question when he announced that the u.s. could take over gaza, we've heard from from the israeli side, we've heard from from arab countries as well, that that plan could jeopardize that next phase. so what do you think the implications of that so-called plan will be well, if i if i was asked what my greatest concern is, when i think about the plan that the president has spoken about taking an ownership position, as he referred to it over the gaza strip, what exactly that means, you know, remains unclear. >> even if it is a plan, kim, or it's just an idea that the president is throwing out there.

all of that is deliberately designed to force hamas's hand to basically make it so that hamas cannot comply with that, seemingly completely giving in to israel's wishes and violation of those terms. and that does mean that we're effectively imminently going back to hostilities that are aiming to displace hamas from the picture entirely. and the issue is here is that there is a double standard with which we look at this is that if hamas is disqualified from being in gaza because of the atrocities they've committed in israel, and certainly they have committed atrocities, there's no denying that. why isn't the opposite true? why aren't the far infinitely greater atrocities that the israeli government has committed in gaza disqualifying of the israeli government remaining in power? and that's what we're looking at here, is a situation of dominance in which israel gets to impose its will on the palestinians, and they seemingly have trump's complete endorsement in pursuing that. and that is not a recipe for peace. if we're actually looking for a way in which we resolve this crisis, we have

hamas of going back on its word.paring the idf, israeli military, to be fully prepared for what may come next, and that could be a resumption of the more. -- war. overwhelmingly, the families of the hostages are upset, they don't believe that prime minister benjamin netanyahu wants to proceed to phase two. they want to resume the war because they believe hamas has been militarily defeated. there has been an angry response from the families tonight, many of them blaming netanyahu or dragging his feet over phase two of the cease-fire. christian: how does washington see it all? we know that donald trump plans to move into gaza the day after the war, he spelled it out on sunday, doubling down on this idea that because i would be cleared and rebuilt under u.s. ownership. pres. trump: beautiful communities for the 1.9 million people, beautiful, safe communities. it could be five, six, but safe communities a little bit away from where they are from where all the danger is. in the meantime, i would own this. think of it as a

arab countries. and hamas could end this weekend after hamas said it would delay saturday's planned hostageur talks, we'll have a place where they're going to live very happily and very safely. the un has warned that any forced displacement to ethnic cleansing. between his view and that of the president, king abdullah said he was looking to egypt for a way forward. or in very ill state to jordan as quickly as possible and then close allies they may be, but these two men have very different visions for gaza's future. king abdullah and donald trump met for the first time since the us president announced his plan to take over gaza and move its population of more than two million palestinians to other countries in the region, including jordan. it's going to be where we ultimately choose as a group, and i believe we'll have a parcel of land in jordan. i believe we'll have a parcel of land in egypt. we may have someplace else, but i think when we finish our talks, we'll have a place where they're going to live very happily and very safely. the un has warned that any forced displacement of civilia

prime minister netanyahu: i think as we defeated isis because we can't leave hamas there because hamas will continue the battle to destroy israel in the temporary cease-fire, one of their leaders comes out. you know what he says, we're going to do october 7 again. except we'll do it bigger. so obviously, you can't talk about peace neither with hamas or in the middle east if this toxic, murderous organization is left standing any more than you can make peace in europe after world war ii if the nazi regime was left standing. you want a different future, you have to knockout the people who want to destroy you and destroy peace. that's what we're going to do. i think that will also bring -- usher in actually the peace with saudi arabia and with others. and i think there will be others too. president trump: yes, ma'am. go ahead. reporter: high expectation from you. do you have any plan to change the afghanistan situation? are you able to recognize taliban because i'm an afghan journalist? what's your future plan for the afghan people? president trump: i have a little hard time understanding

if hamas stops the hostage release, then there is no ceasefire agreement and there is war. intensity from the one before the ceasefire, and will not end without the defeat of hamas and the release of all the hostages, and it will also allow the realisation of trump's vision for gaza. president trump is pushing jordan to back us control of gaza. butjordan�*s king rejected the idea on tuesday in a white house meeting. he pointed to an egyptian effort that would see palestinians keep their land in a reconstructed gaza. the white house press secretary acknowledged the king's position, but said that president trump believes his own idea is "more majestic". the king would much prefer that the palestinians stay in place, with the additional land to be used for new developed, which would greatly create jobs at levels never seen before, but the president feels it would be much better and more majestic if these palestinians could be moved to safer areas. our middle east correspondent wyre davis gave us this update from jerusalem. the ceasefire looks increasingly precarious as we get
