netanyahu.ent he gives different interpretations to different people at a different time of the day for the same text, and then is surprised when everyone is angry at him. well, alan, let's try and explore that a little bit more, because to do that, i want to ask for your thoughts on how specifically donald trump has managed to get this deal over the line with benjamin netanyahu. is it that he's given him an ultimatum? is it transactional? and whichever of those it was or a combination of both, will that pressure from donald trump be sufficient to hold israel, to hold benjamin netanyahu to the deal beyond this initial phase? it should. and you know what? it's not even transactional because in a transaction there's a quid pro quo element. and other than agreeing to the deal, there's no, uh, quo that netanyahu could provide trump with. trump said three times ever since winning the election in november, trump said on three separate occasions. i want this wrapped up. i want this out of sight. i don'

netanyahu? have known for a lona netanyahu? have known for a long time _ netanyahu?etanyahu? have known for a long time that itamar - netanyahu? have known for a | long time that itamar ben-gvir long time that itamar ben—gvir andindeed long time that itamar ben—gvir and indeed otherforeign or nationalist members of mr netanyahu's government were not happy with the deal that has been reached in the negotiations in qatar also what has been not clear is what they were going to do about it. that became a little bit clearer about half an hour ago, when we heard from mr ben—gvir. he effectively lambasted the contents of the deal calling it a terrible deal, and said that his party would resign from the government if the deal was passed by the israeli government and security cabinet. what he then went on to say, and this is really the crucial part, is that even if they did leave government, his party would not seek to try and bring down mr netanyahu's administration because that is really the nuclear option that could be played here. if mr ben—gvir was able to persuade the o

well, it depends mainly on the israeli side, or netanyahu in particular and his government.man has been so selfish all the time. he prepared his own position and his own coalition to the interests not only of the palestinian people but also the interests of israeli people and israeli prisoners. so it depends on him. we have a deal that will last four to 42 days, then in the process during this time there should be negotiations about the next stages and about complete and final ceasefire. that's where the risk is, because if israel is not cooperative, and if it doesn't proceed with total withdrawal of israeli army from gaza strip which is a very little, small area, and if the ceasefire does not become a complete stop of the war, we face lots of risks and lots of possibilities that more atrocities will happen. palestinians have been subjected to three war crimes here, the war crime of genocide, collective punishment and ethnic cleansing. collective punishment and ethnic cleansina. ., ~ ., , , cleansing. doctor mustapha, yes, i have our cleansing. doctor mustapha, yes, i have y

depends on netanyahu.nds on one person and this is donald trump. in the last week he showed that if the united states really wants something to happen in the middle east and really wants to push israel from its policy, it is possible. for half a year, for eight months. the same proposal was made eight months ago on the table. but the biden administration was threatening israel, proposing the kind of proposals to israel, and warning israel, but they didn't take any measures and israel learned to totally ignore biden. now there is a new boy in town and within a week netanyahu has left all his oppositions and surrendered, there is no other way to put it, and agreed to the ceasefire. so will donald trump continue to be as tough and harsh as he is, or will he lose interest and go for his next problem to be solved? this will depend on donald trump. if he will be as strong and really decisive as he was in the last week, then there will be a second phase. journalist and gideon leavey. some negotiations being kicke

benjamin netanyahu's government is a coalition one.ael getting to a conclusion will rest on the same details. but i do want to reiterate the number one priority here is getting the americans, state departments counting of october last year has seven. they should be home before the inauguration next week or that threat of all hell is still in the table. >> john: let me ask about the feel of an this because benjamin netanyahu stated over and over again that the israeli military operation had to continue until hamas was no longer in a position where it could rule gaza. but now the 11 left in place and antony blinken said the other day that hamas recruited as many militants as it lost during the war over the last 460 whatever days. so hamas is still very much a forest, even though david friedman says it has no future. >> that is the end goal in the best interest of the united states and the prevention of hamas coming back in any form of governance or power in gaza at the end of the fighting. we are at the final stages of it. this is the ha

thanks so much, honey. joining us from garza as well as prime minister benjamin netanyahu. his office is released the statement on the seas 5 deal. it reads, how mass has renee is on parts of the agreement reached with the mediators, and as well, in an effort to install last minute concessions. these ready cabinet will not convey and until the media is notify as well how masses except to the limits of the agreement will have asked for its font size. it's already committed to the seas. 5 deal announced by mediators in concert on wednesday for the asthma and the video regarding the claims of his ready permanence to benjamin to, to know his office. i confirmed that how much is committed to what was agreed upon and to the seat fight agreements. that was announced by the mediators and no amendments. why did i hope that such statements from the to know his office? i'm not an attempt to evade that commitment to the ceasefire agreement. and so some of the soho joins us now from my mind because israel has band, i'll just hear from operating that and in the occupied the west bank. so

netanyahu, the prime minister? yes.sters, their lives before and after the 7th of october. happy moments in the past, and the gaps left by the missing and the dead. for the families, the wait is an agony. for israelis and palestinians, the clock is ticking towards the ceasefire far too slowly. jeremy bowen, bbc news, jerusalem. benjamin netanyahu is under strong pressure from the right—wing of his government, which is deeply critical of the ceasefire deal with hamas. so, what shape is hamas in after 15 months of conflict, and what threat might it still pose? james landale has this assessment. when hamas launched its brutal attack on israel in october the 7th, it was a powerful force. it sent about 3,000 fighters across the border and launched about 5,000 rockets. in all, the armed group and political movement was estimated to have about 30,000 fighters, hidden in hundreds of tunnels across gaza. but after 15 months of war, israel says it is a shadow of its former self. hamas has been decimated. their leadership has been

netanyahu, the prime minister? yes. on the posters, their lives before and after the october 7.py moments in the past, and the gaps left by the missing and the dead. for the families, the wait is an agony. for israelis and palestinians, the clock is ticking towards the ceasefire far too slowly. jeremy bowen, bbc news, jerusalem. joining me live now is paul scham, professor of israel studies at the university of maryland, who has decades of experience working on issues involving israel and palestine. thank you very much for your time. what is your reaction to the news the israeli cabinet has okayed this deal? relief but not surprised. _ has okayed this deal? relief but not surprised. i - has okayed this deal? relief but not surprised. i think- has okayed this deal? relief i but not surprised. i think many of us assume that trump poste make outspoken anger at the idea of the hostages still being held at... idea of the hostages still being held at. . .- being held at... are you surprised _ being held at... are you surprised about - being held at... are you surprised about the - bei

netanyahu's government.ot appear to be the plan, and so it would appear that we are going to see maybe tomorrow, maybe saturday, the israeli security cabinet and government meet to finally take a closer look at the cease-fire agreement. ben: and that meeting delayed, pushed back because the israelis were not happy with what hamas were asking for in terms of concessions. jonah: well, that's what we were told earlier in the day. it is hard to know whether it really was about these extra concessions which we were told were the problem because we had a briefing by the israeli prime minister spokesman making a clear that the holdup was due to the fact that hamas had insisted on changing some parts of the agreement. was it that, or was it more related to the turmoil going on behind the scenes in relation to these members of mr. netanyahu's government who are clearly not happy with the agreement? the issues related to the cease-fire agreement, these details do now appear to have been ironed out. there has been conf

benjamin netanyahu has benjamin neta nyahu has consistently benjamin netanyahu has consistently said there would be total victory, in his words, meaning the total destruction of hamas. but is that even possible to mock this is a movement which has run gaza since 2006. frankly, who support has actually increased in some parts because of the attacks by israel. with antony blinken, the outgoing us secretary of state, speaking at the atlanta council yesterday, saying that every hamas militant who has been killed as manage to recruit another strip the implication being that you can wipe out the leadership of hamas, you can wipe out hamas militants, but you can't destroy the ideology, especially when more than 116,000 people have been killed in gaza in the last 15 months and everyone has seen those truths deeds of sufferings in gaza. so israel has not achieved its aim of destroying hamas. that said, the incoming fire from gaza into israel is largely subsided. and, yes, the senior leadership of the group has been wiped out. going forward, the question is, whether hamas would play any part a

israeli prime minister benyamin netanyahu has repeatedly neta nyahu has repeatedly promised netanyahudly promised to destroy hamas. so after 125 months of conflict, what state is the group in. our diplomatic correspondent has this assessment. when hamas launched its brutal attack on israel in october 7, it was a powerful force. it sent about 3,000 fighters across the border and launched about 5,000 rockets. in all, the armed group and political movement was estimated to have about 30,000 fighters, hidden in hundreds of tunnels across gaza. but after 15 months of war, israel says it is a shadow of its former self. hamas has been decimated. their leadership has been eliminated. their rocket arsenal has been destroyed. their tunnel network has been compromised. their operational capabilities have been shattered. they are no longer the force they once were. certainly, many senior figures have been killed. hamas' political leader, ismail haniyeh, was assassinated in tehran injuly. it sent about 3,000 fighters across the border and launched about 5,000 rockets. in all, the armed group and p

and benjamin netanyahu has been meeting with these ministers lucky. some are big beer and bits on it, smelt rich to try and warm them up to the idea of a ceasefire. but their comments have been pretty straightforward about where they stand. do some are ben beer is trying to get ventilated smart words with him to leave the government? if this deal comes to a vote within these really parliament, if it passes with benjamin netanyahu, has also been speaking with these really negotiating team that's in del, how is the longest they've been in doha. this is also the 1st time since august of 2024, but all 3 negotiators, the head of israel's massage, the head of israel should in bed. and the representative from these really military have been together for the negotiations. and they've been talking to net and y'all who constantly about the mandate that he gave them. but it's also worth mentioning that there were a lot of red lines previously in that mandate. it's still a little bit unclear exactly what netanyahu told them that they could have some wiggle room o

they want prime minister netanyahu to resume the war.f the 1,200 killed in the october attacks are everywhere in israel. this was outside the prime minister's office — also a reminder that israelis are deeply divided over the best way to get the hostages back. netanyahu's critics say he's broken his promise to rescue the hostages by destroying hamas completely. instead, he's made a deal with hamas. translation: our message is very clear. _ that a ceasefire deal is a surrender to hamas. we will only support a deal if all hostages are released. that would send the message to the enemy that we are the rulers. benjamin netanyahu's coalition crisis is going to be of little importance to donald trump, who is always going to put the interests of his own presidency first, and he wants to re—enter the white house being able to claim, with some justification, that he was able to deliver a ceasefire that joe biden could not. now, longer term, the structure of the ceasefire could be a problem, because it's over a period of weeks and months and it's

and this is the last thing netanyahu wants. so i think this will be the main question tomorrow when the israeli cabinet votes what those two parties, led by, uh, jewish supremacists. uh itamar ben gvir, the minister of national security and radical right wing minister of finance, bezalel smotrich, both of them said that this deal is a disaster. they will most likely vote against it, but also most likely stay in the government. >> um, well, that is definitely something we're going to be watching. thank you so much for that, barak. appreciate it. i want to go now to alayna treene, who is in west palm beach near donald trump's mar-a-lago home. alana, we have been talking about some of the statements we've seen coming onto donald trump's social media feed. uh, claiming credit, saying that this is, uh, this is because he was elected his incoming national security advisor. mike waltz just retweeted, or we retrieved one of his statements saying that this is the trump effect. and, you know, uh, i'm sure they're they're saying that. and

a supporter of netanyahu. and and so he didn't want to be tough on netanyahu because he didn't want to get criticized by the republicans. trump campaigned by telling saying he was going to be more supportive of netanyahu. and then as soon as he got elected, he switched and pressured netanyahu. so the republicans were talking out of both sides of their mouth. they're saying that joe biden, you have to support netanyahu 100%. whatever he wants to do. and hamas is the problem. and as it turns out, trump revealed very skillfully, actually, that netanyahu was the roadblock to table. >> a question here that has slipped through the cracks, as i recall, netanyahu has been charged by the hague. that's still out there with other leaders of hamas as well. the only countries he can travel to are israel and the united states. they're the only ones that don't abide by the hague order. if his plane ever runs out of fuel in another country, he'll go to trial in the hague. how do you feel about that? >> well, he won't. that wo

i, i think that the mistaken steps here were taken by netanyahu. i think netanyahu way back in may, couldn't imagine an end to this war. he also spent this month shoring himself up politically. he brought another party into his coalition. this is going to sound pretty tinny and pretty superficial and pretty uncharitable on my part, because the war during these eight wasted months has brought israel very significant results, including basically eliminating hezbollah as a real player, eliminating hamas as a serious political player, but still, for the israeli population, the civilian israeli population, the idea that their children died in army service. it's a conscript army. the six hostages, including the american citizen goldberg, poland, those who were executed in september. the idea that all of them could still be alive, and that this same deal was on the table in may, and that netanyahu simply dismissed it, is not going to be easy to swallow. and paradoxically, i think the idea that that is going to shock israelis is actually going to help neta

and netanyahu turned away from that. actually believe the reason we're here is simply because the president trump, i'm not, i'm not saying he's a friend to the potter's to me and people will know the united states as cool, little shops here. the head thing here is, tom said he wanted this done by the 20th of january, therefore it must be over by the 20th of january. and i think that was a message to benjamin netanyahu even just statements last week when he basically said all hell will break loose and gaza if you know this continues. well, that was lots of old people in gaza around even come off in the sense that got a he noticed a gas is already being level, you know, we'll know by some estimates that could be 300000 that and definitely it was 20000 children's dawsons have been bombed indiscriminately as saw, so they knew that that wasn't really a message that was a message to benjamin netanyahu, which was also reinforced by his, that of trump's invoice, the wit, costs and force, basically israel, kansas. and i should ge

this is something that i think netanyahu wanted to do. so yes, he does have his right wing cabinet members that he has to, you know, take into account. but i do think he holds sway within that cabinet. and he could have forged this deal earlier. but again, i think he had an agenda, not just in gaza, but i think at that time also, he was anticipating that lebanon and hezbollah was going to also be in his target list. and so therefore that's why he waited. but he gets a benefit. now with trump coming in, he can offer a gift to the incoming administration, but also as a way to, i think, recognize the tremendous efforts that the biden administration made over the past, you know, year plus. >> yeah, i think biden was right to come out and say, this is his deal. it's a deal that he already had put on the table. eamon, let's talk about the bigger regional sort of picture here, because you do have, as director brennan mentioned, you have lebanon, you have syria, which has seen the bashar al assad regime fall. you still have issues in yemen. it's

netanyahu's office says due to the strong insistence of prime minister benjamin netanyahu, hamas folded on its last minute demands to change the deployment of idf forces in the philadelphia corridor. what his office is saying there is that hamas, at the last minute, according to israel, tried to change something around the arrangement of how israeli forces were supposed to be deployed along the egypt gaza border. now, this has been one of the key stumbling blocks throughout these negotiations. israel refusing to fully withdraw from that border, saying that if it does, hamas will resume smuggling weapons back into gaza from egypt and that it will rearm. we are waiting to see the final draft of this deal, to fully understand what has been agreed upon along that very contentious border. the second sentence of this statement from netanyahu's office says. however, several items in the framework have yet to be finalized. we hope that details will be finalized tonight. now, chris, we are seeking clarification from prime minister netanyahu's office about what exactly they mean that several item

with netanyahu, putting the pressure on and saying publicly, you have to do this deal before i take just deal before i take office which isjust and a deal before i take office which is just and a few days, and steve wheatcroft was in israel and qatar, and the israeli press is reporting stern messages he has sent to the israelis, basically saying the deal has to be signed, you are going to sign this deal, enough is enough, and donald trump saying there will be trouble like you have never seen before if this deal is not signed up immense pressure.- if this deal is not signed up immense pressure. how confident are ou immense pressure. how confident are you about _ immense pressure. how confident are you about the _ immense pressure. how confident are you about the second - immense pressure. how confident are you about the second and - are you about the second and third stages? there are details about the first stage and prisoner exchanges but much less clear about the second stage and the third.- stage and the third. that is ri . ht. stage and the third. that is right- i'm _ stage and

they want prime minister netanyahu to resume the wall. netanyahu to resume the war.aces of the 1200 killed in the october attacks are everywhere in israel. this was outside the prime minister's office, also a reminder that israelis are deeply divided over the best way to get the hostages back. netanyahu's critics say he has broken his promise to rescue the hostages by destroying hamas completely. instead, he has made a deal with hamas. translation: our message is very clear - that a ceasefire - deal is a surrender to hamas. we will only support a deal if all hostages are released. that would send the message to the enemy that we are the rulers. benjamin netanyahu's coalition crisis is going to be of little importance to donald trump, who will always put the interests of his own presidency first. and he wants to re—enter the white house being able to claim, with some justification that he was able to deliver a ceasefire that joe biden could not. now, longer term, the structure of a ceasefire could be a problem because it's over a period of weeks and months and it is i

donald trump clearly had real leverage over bibi netanyahu and a funny sort of way, because bibi netanyahu no longer had the leverage of going around joe biden to donald trump. it was a little bit like nixon going to china. right? so trump has the evangelicals, has conservative american jews. and i think that will help get this deal. certainly phase one, probably phase two, because you've got to get all the hostages back. but and that's the big but maybe also the deal with the saudis. i don't think, though, there is any appetite that i have discovered for tackling the fundamentals of the israeli-palestinian issue. so no one should look at this. as good as this is, as welcome. this is this ain't peace. totally agree with you. we are not far down that road at all. to you, bob uecker, we talked about this morning. this is still the first inning here. we've got a long, long ways to go. this is real. not just this israeli government. joe israel has changed in part because of october 7th, in part because of demographics. i'm not sure israel is psychologically and politically prepared to go much

he's been meeting with mister netanyahu, the prime minister netanyahu in the last few hours. so we shall see probably tomorrow. i will see what, what will be the story mean for the future of these really coalition and uh for the future of the deal. okay. um were guessing for mr. newton. yeah. who's looking like is willing to risk the, the, the, the stake of his, his government for this deal. and it appears or uh yes, she does, because uh, 1st and foremost as well as i said, it seems like he will maintain a 2nd majority in the can. it sits. secondly, the old position said that it will support the government on the hospice of dealers . so she has this kind of bet king from the whole position. and this goes basically against the background of the public opinion, which is in his majority in the deal. and this is something that mr. nathan, yahoo cannot take note. right. i'm just wondering how people, as you mentioned, that there is a public feeling full the deal. but in light of what's been happening with, you know, up and give her and, and, and other members of that threatening o

and del by central guys is ready. millage media reporting prime minister benjamin netanyahu has made his fund and some of the step is allow small intrigues. who's been opposing this? these 5 deal being negotiated in doha. really a who's rides, colleagues, security minister to my bank is a cold. the proposed sconces, say 5 plan, a disaster is kind of the deal that is taking shape is a surrender deal to how much, therefore, i call them my friends bets. a little smoked rich to join me and cooperate in working against the middle mike jewish empower party does not have the power of love to prevent the deal put together. it is possible that we can go to the prime minister and tell him that if he passes the deal, we will resign from the government. i stress that if we become more in the opposition, we will not bring down that on you. whose government, but joint cooperation is the only way to prevent the surrender deal. there's no terrible deal and to ensure that the deaths of hundreds of soldiers and those in vain. so here's a reminder of what is ready media have leaks of the potential cx,

and that gives political space to prime minister netanyahu. and we're going to see him take advantage of that and push back against his most hard line folks in his coalition. then, of course, the x factor here is the region. the middle east countries are now fully invested in this qatar, egypt, turkey, saudi arabia. they are there. they were at the table there talking about a future. they're talking about potential peace. while they're going to have to pay for it, pony up a lot of funds and work with the israelis and the americans on a reconstruction project, as well as a political program for a day after. but all those big picture factors coalesced. and so president biden and his team, big kudos for sticking with it all the way to the end, almost to the fully the 11th hour of the administration to get this really important deal done for the hostages and the palestinian people. >> joel isaac herzog, of course, the president of israel is speaking right now, but it's in hebrew. so we'll see what he has to say about this. but when you talk about

so there's a lot of turmoil within benjamin netanyahu. his own government, remember that the 1st and only cease fire deal that took place. you had members of his own coalition. lucky to me are ben beer who voted against it. and now you have finance minister based on it smote rich, who's been quite an outspoken opponent about any sort of ceasefire deal. and there was a large school of thought in israel, that is, benjamin netanyahu agrees to a deal that his government will collapse. so there were reports earlier in the day that nothing yahoo held a meeting with members of the far right, including small trips to try and warm him up to the idea of a ceasefire deal. but again, the far right has been against this for some time, saying that it would be a victory for him as saying that they would be rewarding the palestinian groups. but benjamin netanyahu nonetheless, still decided to send his negotiating team, still decided to give that mandate. and decided to let them stay another day in doha for these talks. so despite what the far right ones,

prime minister benjamin netanyahu, netanyahu's office accusing hamas of, quote, attempting to extort last minute concessions. end quote. in response, hamas saying it remains committed to the agreement that was announced yesterday after more than 15 months of war. this deal could bring an end to the deadliest period in the history of the israeli-palestinian conflict, set to begin on sunday. phase one would see the release of more than 100 palestinian prisoners in exchange for 33 israeli hostages. seven americans are believed to be among those still held in gaza, and sources tell cnn that two are expected to be included in the first release. and with just days before the transfer of power here in america, the deal is a significant accomplishment for both president joe biden and president elect donald trump. a senior white house official telling cnn the cooperation between the outgoing and incoming administrations was, quote, almost unprecedented. nevertheless, trump posted on truth social. quote, this epic cease fire agreement could only happen, could have only happened as a result of

more now on our main news this hour — the confirmation by the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahut a deal to secure the release of israeli hostages in gaza has been agreed. the arrangement was first announced on wednesday — but votes to approve it in israel were delayed when israel accused hamas of seeking last minute changes. if everything goes as expected in the coming hours, those votes will be held in israel, and then the ceasefire is expected to come into force on sunday. pending that ceasefire, the fighting has continued in gaza. camera crews based on the northern border with israel captured these explosions in the distance overnight. it's not yet known if there were any casualties from that, but the gaza civil defence has said the death toll in the gaza strip since the ceasefire agreement was announced is 101 people, with 264 wounded. these are the live pictures from khan younis in gaza. you can see that people are walking around there. we also have some more details and those numbers are mentioned with cards are�*s civil defence saying that 101 people have died since the c

netanyahu's coalition, from the far right.e totally opposed to this deal. but netanyahu does have cover from some of the opposition parties as a safety net that he can probably agree to it and i think he will approve the deal with some dissonant voices.— dissonant voices. and in practical _ dissonant voices. and in practical terms - dissonant voices. and in practical terms on - dissonant voices. and in practical terms on the l dissonant voices. and in - practical terms on the ground, who will be there to ensure that both sides keep their ends of the bargain, if i can put it like that. because there are no international observers allowed. international observers allowed-— international observers allowed. . , allowed. that is a very good question — allowed. that is a very good question and _ allowed. that is a very good question and i _ allowed. that is a very good question and i don't - allowed. that is a very good question and i don't know. i allowed. that is a very good i question and i don't know. but there is supposed to be

mr netanyahu then spoke to the us president, outgoing president, joe biden.ing the hostage deal. as we've been reflecting, both joe biden and donald trump claiming credit for this agreement, and mr annette yahoo thanking both of them —— mr netanyahu. let's get more on the net humanitarian situation. let's speak to fikr shalltoot. she's the gaza director for medical aid for palestinians. thank you very much. i do see this agreement panning out in terms of humanitarian aid and getting those relief supplies back —— how do you see? getting those relief supplies back -- how do you see? yeah, i think that — back -- how do you see? yeah, i think that this _ back -- how do you see? yeah, i think that this agreement - back -- how do you see? yeah, i think that this agreement is - think that this agreement is just a step actually towards saving civilians' lives. and to sustain what is left of their dignity. what gaza has been suffering over the last 15 months, getting aid into gaza. we got lots of trucks waiting in rafah and also injordan and also in the west bank. i h

especially because, as barak said, the choice here is a very painful one for netanyahu. he risks the collapse at any moment of his, uh, far right coalition government. now, for now, ben-gvir has said he would not actually bring down the government even if he would go out of the security cabinet rather than vote for this particular deal. so it's still a question mark for me about the exact timing of this. but the bigger question is, is it really the end of the war or not? and i don't think despite all the big claims from donald trump, that we know the answer to that yet. >> yeah, we'll know in about 40 days when they supposedly go to phase two. to all of you, thank you very, very much. just ahead, a major shakeup up on capitol hill as speaker mike johnson removes the chair of the house intelligence committee as he denies pressure from donald trump. i'll get reaction to that and more from a key democrat on the panel, congressman jason crow. stay with us. you're in the situation room. >> kobe, the making of a legend premieres january 25th on cbs. >> maya knows how quality c

if they don't get some sort of assurance from benjamin netanyahu. that israel will go back to full scale war to continue is fighting after phase one of this deal. we've heard from the finance minister and also the national security minister throughout the last week who have been staunch opponents of any sort of ceasefire deals or negotiations restarting. they've said that this is a bad deal, but this is bad for israel's national security. and that they would be giving up the so called military achievements that they have gotten in the last 15 months. so the security cabinet was supposed to meet for a vote on this deal, but that is still delayed and the prime minister's office has said that he's not going to be commenting about this at all until everything within the deal is finalized. and we've been hearing, rumbling some, some cabinet members about how they might even pull out of the gulf. what can you tell us about that as well? you have some more buttons here. the country's national security minister just a few days ago released the video stateme

and that, that will be a moment where netanyahu's ability to survive is going to be tested. because on one hand, he absolutely needs the help of the united states to stay in government. now, on the other hand, he needs the votes of the far right coalition that he put together to stay in office. so being the torch and in between, create a situation where the war is going to keep going for a while until they find a path to settle it. and before the bank of yours and small churches of the netanyahu. government realized that notwithstanding their sincere desire to cleanse the land of everyone away, i'm to be a palestinian that that's not going to happen. and that the truth is that their approach of ethnic cleansing, of genocide has failed. that this idea of uh, of greater israel that comes about as a result of very, very people that's not going to happen anymore. they're, they're going to have, take a new directional down. trump is a very strong support of israel. and i support is you're up to the point of a, you know, ethnic cleansing and genocide coming out. but what we're loo

he just, he wants peace in effect or he does one page and he sent an envoy end to meet with netanyahu and company and made it very clear based on reports that at our public and some that i've heard privately and made it made it very clear that there had to be an agreement and the uh, the a war against the people of guys. and he's looking at an architecture for patient middle aged. and again, trump is someone who is taking a view of trying to put the pieces together to come to an agreement. as far as guys uh, uh, as a time that we're talking it's, there's still conflict within netanyahu government over whether there should be any . it's just ation of, of the war and that, that will be a moment where netanyahu's ability to survive is going to be tested. because on one hand, he absolutely needs the help of the united states to stay in government. and the other hand he needs the votes of the far right coalition that he put together to stay in office. so being the torsion in between create a situation where the war is going to keep going for a while until they find a path to settle it. and

you know, ryan, president biden advice is really prime minister netanyahu don't go into rafa. don't use to ton bombs in residential neighborhoods. don't provoke iran directly. don't launch a full war 11 on don't occupying more syrian lance when you kind of look at it. netanyahu has been on a role and everything that prime minister, i'm that presidential by and asked to do, just got brushed, just brushed aside. i'm just interested in this relationship now and what the implications are of that and, and what it means in your, in your eyes, when you see an american president so easily brushed aside, and now actually you hear from the secretary of state and joe biden, taking credit for a lot of what has unfolded in the middle east. right, is it spits been utterly humiliating for the bite and, and, and for his team, you saw the new york times interview with the asked me blinking recently where he, he, that exact question was put to him or is that you, you, you told him not to go into raw for they wouldn't a rock that he said, uh huh. but they went into rafa in a different way than t

again, my take is that benjamin netanyahu has gifted the seas. 5 of try. wanted to make donald trump happy because he expects to extract called session from from later on . we do not know whether donald trump would basically tolerate or sanction benjamin netanyahu if and when he resumes the fighting gaza. that was one thing we know about donald trump. he does not really like was, he doesn't actually want, it'd be more. and then at least, and he has made it very clear, even though the outcome, what do you supports the hotline is the far right pod line is within the benjamin netanyahu coalition. what concessions could those be? why don't is they want to expand the, the supplement building in the occupied westbank? this is a big priority for the far right. extreme is go lucian of benjamin. that then. yeah . in fact the one to a next to the west back. this is the last remaining bit of historical pablo side, and they also want to maintain is ready to dropping garza, i mean, keep in mind regardless of what happened in the next, you know, few weeks. these riley a

what is bibi netanyahu have? and 2 or 3 days? is this simply something that he works through, or is this actually something of a challenge to his his government? and i think that will be a really interesting space to watch, because that will obviously have implications for domestic and international policy, foreign policy for israel going forward. >> and in fact, richard, i'm so glad you mentioned the israeli politics. we know that those two ministers are fiercely opposed to this right now. netanyahu and the prime minister's office and those closest to him, ron dermer, certainly his closest advisor, and those who were talking to him here in new york and in washington, israeli officials believe that his coalition will hold together, that there will not be a vote of no confidence in the knesset. so they think that they do have. and he was working yesterday with the security cabinet, and then we'll go to the full cabinet. and there's a lot of confidence about that. i want to add one more piece to this, which is not widely known. the

again, netanyahu said that vote is no longer scheduled today or tomorrow. now things are changing quickly, but this is where things stand right now. once the vote does take place, there will be a 48 hour period to allow for objections into israeli israeli supreme court. diplomatic urging stability in this agreement and the statement released overnight by the prime minister's office said, "prime minister benjamin netanyahu spoke with president-elect trump and thank him for his assistance in advancing the release of the hostages and helping israel bring an end to suffering of dozens of hostages and their families." inside gaza palestinians welcomed the agreement after living through 15 months of war though overnight israeli air strikes continued against gaza killing thousands of palestinians. hostage square in tel aviv, people are gathering, singing, prating, calling for an agreement to bring their loved ones home. you can see the posters in so many people are being held. one of the soldiers expected to come out and the agreement if it does take place startin

but i want to note that his office also released a photo and statement of benjamin netanyahu, talking on the phone with us president joe biden. the statement says that he also spoke with president elect donald trump. thank them both for their efforts in securing the ceasefire deal, but i wanna also point to something else. the americans that have said this evening they admitted for the 1st time. but benjamin netanyahu had been a big impediment in these negotiations, saying that back in july, he had added several new conditions that essentially torpedo these talks and have them go south when there was a little bit of momentum there. when the all we've heard from the americans and these rallies for months was pointing the finger at her mouth saying that they are the reason there hasn't been a deal. the americans did say, but have as also sometimes inserted new conditions, but really stressed that it was nothing yahoo sometimes who also added those conditions, which was part of the reason why there wasn't this deal to begin with, even though we have the deal now. and this was the framewo

netanyahu, the prime minister?their lives before and after the 7th of october. happy moments in the past, and the gaps left by the missing and the dead. for the families, the wait is an agony. for israelis and palestinians, the clock is ticking towards the ceasefire far too slowly. jeremy bowen, bbc news, jerusalem. benjamin netanyahu has repeatedly promised to destroy hamas. so after 15 months of conflict, what state is the group in? 0ur diplomatic correspondent james landale has this assessment: when hamas launched its brutal attack on israel in october the 7th, it was a powerful force. it sent about 3,000 fighters across the border and launched about 5,000 rockets. in all, the armed group and political movement was estimated to have about 30,000 fighters, hidden in hundreds of tunnels across gaza. but after 15 months of war, israel says it is a shadow of its former self. hamas has been decimated. their leadership has been eliminated. their rocket arsenal has been destroyed. their tunnel network has been compromi

families of captives just the government to accept the gods as cease 5 deal as prime minister benjamin netanyahu pools of secures and cabinet meeting for friday to discuss the approval of the deal. the i mean by a business is out. is there a line for me to also coming up? no less, not mean mall to the pain and anguish in gaza is riley as strikes if you doesn't since the see spot announcement on wednesday. more diplomacy and damascus. katasha prime minister, whole story with syria is nearly to, to discuss the political transition, plus some of the refugees of sleeping c a because they seem to be no space. those who spoken to say that they want to stay close to the homes. we have on the dia, conditions for thousands of student needs. refugees in sevens to john, the israel's prime minister. benjamin netanyahu has ordered his cabinet to meet this friday to discuss a cease 5 deal with gaza, sol, so off for preparations to begin for the return of his riley captives. the politicians in israel still appeared to be split ahead of the states, 5 plan, implemented sion on the sunday, as well as far right na

the hod mine is the far right pod line is within the benjamin netanyahu coalition. what concessions could those be they want is they want to expand the the supplement building in the occupied westbank? this is a big priority for the far right. extreme is coalition of benjamin that then yeah. in fact the one to one next to the west back. this is the last remaining bit of historical pablo style, and they also want to maintain is right. it's open garza, i mean, keep in mind regardless of what happened in the next, you know, few weeks. these riley army will never lead guides of them and it is right. it has already established buses at all between israel and gaza. and israel will maintain a sizable segment of troops in gaza. you have repeatedly spoken about the need for an international peacekeeping force in gaza. especially looking at the day after something that we don't really have a plan for yet. do you see hope for that? once there is actually a piece to keep? or i could really say yes, but i don't think there is any help. and the reason why, if you listen to, if yo
