00:00OK, I mean, President Trump seems to want more than that.

00:03I mean, do you see him being satisfied?

00:05I mean, OK, it's a first step, but the resumption of hostilities in 60 days from now

00:10is not going to be viewed by the Trump administration as being a win, is it?

00:15I think they will judge it by the positions put forward by Hamas.

00:19If Hamas is going to adopt a very negative approach to reaching a solution

00:23that would mean that it is going to be disarmed,

00:26then the Trump administration will understand that there is a problem with Hamas.

00:30They keep saying it all the time.

00:32The hurdle to reaching an agreement is Hamas.

00:35And this can be also the case after the 60 days, which is just have to wait and see.

01:03Because if there's one thing that's worse for Hamas, for Hamas' point of view,

01:07than being defeated by the Israeli military force,

01:12is that it's going to be ousted by its own people.

01:15That's the most threatening option for Hamas.

01:20That's why they fight against militias that are taking control of some areas in Rafaf.
