as in boy to the milly, steve witt, gulf is express optimism the day will continue to the 2nd stage and i think the ceasefire is holding. i think we are in discussions about how to finish the next task that release and they'll be in is really delegation going to either doha or cairo. and so uh, so i think that the ceasefire is holding. there could have been um, a circumstance of shooting, but hopefully uh it's not big enough to uh, have uh changed uh, the situation on the ground. i think where, where, stable and things are, where they support that, where they are supposed to be. a lot of students have had some respite from israel's relentless, bombardments bought off to 15 months. a bull destroyed 70 percent of golf as buildings. most families have nowhere to live. as well as been blocking the entry of bulldozers and heavy equipment needed to clear the rubble to recover the thousands of bodies buried beneath the rims of homes. convoys of trucks carrying the ball, homes and tents, symbols so been held on the gyptian side of the roof of border crossing a human bessler here, which house mo

because mr. witt comes to the middle east, a special employee, and of course, secretary of state, marco rubio, and this might an adult be. i was just telling you a little bit about the set country really be because he used to be a senate. and he seems to have changed his position on ukraine. let me just play a clip, a clip of what he said back in 2014. they made up this excuse that somehow the russian speaking population in the region was being oppressed and attacked and, and was in danger. and so they needed to intervene even to this day, they still will not admit the military role that they're playing on the ground in front me. so in addition to violating this international norm, which is an outrageous behavior, they have lied about it and think they can get away with it. and the point that i'm making is even the 21st century. a country is allowed to invade a neighbor, lie about it, and lie about the reasons for it, and they can get away with it without significant cause. we have created a dangerous precedent. and that's all i mean, can you see why some of the europeans all confused?

he will be meeting with steve witt costs the us employee to them, at least on monday. they essentially said that going to stop the negotiations for the 2nd phase of the deal, that many people were expecting, definitely all who to send to negotiations, team to the mediators with kata and egypt. but it seems that they want to stop. they want to kick things off in the us and next in yahoo as essentially saying that he wants to present the x ray. the site is ready position. he did make a statement just before he left. he said, i quote, i believe that we can strengthen security brought in the 2nd piece of a cheaper remarkable era of peace through strength. so essentially he was talking about their, his alliance with the us because many black people are pretty existing issues. but he hasn't yet sent in negotiations table. those steve woodcock said that they would be sending one essentially from america to discuss this with kata and also egypt. and then he set to have a breakfast meeting with donald trump, us president on tuesday morning, where they both saw that essentially

what we know is that steve witt cough, his middle east invoice, also going to be meeting down in florida with the prime minister of is how far we also know that there are is high level negotiations that are taking place with the many of the u. s. allies slowly, i'm also going to tell you that i've lost my i a b. so in terms of follow up questions, i'm just going to give you a quick few more points that i think are important to bring up as we were just listening to the president there. because the other big point that is going to be discussed here is the issue of a ron. because that is the other big as sort of a point that is being discussed here in this meeting very briefly. the us presidents and did sign and executive order just before the arrival of the prime minister, where he was to get restarted his maximum pressure campaign. and you heard him touch there very briefly saying that he was also going to make sure that it did not require a nuclear weapon. something that of course, is of great interest to the is really prime minister. kimberly, thank you very much for that very comprehen

steve witt costs the middle east envoy to the us in the us, so they have a meeting in black house, which is directly that for to the white house. and what came from that meeting is that next meal, who is now going to send a delegation to doha, to look at the details of the implementation. so they said technical details, which essentially seems to say, this may well go through to the next stage. even though trump had the us present on the top is the right, got it about the information coming from that. but it's also important to say that one that can, you know, who is in the us as a huge amount of contradictory domestic pressure at home. from his far right cabinet. he has had pressure from people like finance minister beds, no small judge who is pushing them to continue the fight against him us until they destroyed in garza, but also said he wants to see release of the captives. but also from these family members of the captive protesting we sort protests on sexually not wanting them to continue with the cx. 5 deal to continue into the 2nd phase, they can see the release of dozens more ca

greatest of all time coaches, he's deploying all of us out on the field including now ambassador steve witt cough. what's so amazing about steve is he's not burdened by all of the decades of talking points and this can't be done and only that can be done. it's kind of like that unconventional thinking that outsider that understands that closing deals. has the instinct went to walk away and sometimes no deal is better than a bad deal that led to it abraham accords in his first terms and is going to get both europe and the middle east back into peace. focus on our western hemisphere from the arctic to our border, the panama canal and all the way down into south america. you asked for the broader implications. this is the entire world reacting to president trump leadership and once again seeing our adversaries and allies respect to the united states of america and it's commander in chief. that's these amazing effects that you are seeing. not to mention the great team that he put around him and i'm an honour to be a part of. >> sean: i didn't like the war in ukraine seem to involve -- devolved
