00:00Could this be the agreement we've all been waiting for or are we hedging our bets here?

00:05I think we would like it to be.

00:07And I think it was sort of optimistic in terms of the reports that Netanyahu had contacted the families of the hostages

00:16and had apparently told them that he had agreed to this plan.

00:19So I think that's positive.

00:21But then there's the negative reports coming out that Hamas have said that they're disappointed with the deal

00:26and they think it's biased towards Israel.

00:28So I think I'd like to be optimistic, but I'm probably not really going to be in the long term,

00:35especially when you look at the complications over the delivery of the aid

00:39and then, as we mentioned before as well, in terms of the settlement in the West Bank.

00:43So I think I'd like to be optimistic, but I think this is going to drag on, unfortunately.
