00:00We begin in Gaza, where dozens of people were killed in Israeli strike Saturday, despite progress on a peace deal.
00:06U.S. President Donald Trump had called on Israel to stop bombing the enclave after Hamas said it was ready to release the remaining hostages as part of a U.S. peace plan.
00:16Negotiators are headed to Cairo for indirect talks to finalize the technical details.
00:21For the latest, let's cross directly to Jerusalem and speak to our correspondent Noga Tarnopolsky.
00:26Noga, good morning. It seems things are moving full steam ahead and Donald Trump is continuing to pile pressure on both sides.
00:36He is. He has not lost interest, Alison, and it is interesting to observe so that yesterday, hours after he posted on his truth social media website,
00:48a sort of another threat to Hamas saying, basically, get a move on.
00:54You don't have a lot of time to release the Israeli hostages or else.
00:59Subsequently, he posted, he made two posts that are sure to have severely irritated Prime Minister Netanyahu.
01:08In one, interestingly, he posted an image of the more than 100,000 Israelis who gathered yesterday in Tel Aviv who rallied to demand an end to the war.
01:21This is a weekly event in smaller numbers, a daily event.
01:25And somehow Trump has become aware of these things.
01:28It's the second time he posts.
01:29And it's important to me, you know, Netanyahu refers to these protesters as enemies of Israel, as draft dodgers in the worst possible terms.
01:39So that was an interesting thing.
01:40And shortly thereafter, the president of the United States posted a map of the withdrawal lines that he proposes for this 20-point peace proposal.
01:51And he announced unilaterally that Israel had agreed, thus removing quite a bit of Israeli leverage in the discussions that are going to start in Egypt,
02:02the negotiations that are going to start in Egypt as of tomorrow, as of Monday.
02:06So it is interesting to see him not lose interest and keep pressuring both sides basically every few hours since he announced this deal.
