00:00According to some reports we're reading, efforts to advance President Trump's peace plan in Gaza are facing some serious challenges right now.
00:08Some are saying the plans are faltering. The State Department, however, is saying that tremendous progress is being made in advancing that plan.
00:16What's your reading of where we are right now?
00:18Okay. As you are aware that this plan is divided into several places, several phases, I'm sorry.
00:24And the first phase should be done by giving all hostages dead or alive, and alive or finished, dead are almost to be finished very soon.
00:34And at the same time to release some prisoners from Palestinians as well.
00:38And there are some, you know, discussions about the names, especially Barghouti and so on.
00:42So it's the first phase. Second phase is really important.
00:45And remember, the first phase was related to the withdrawal of the Israeli forces inside Gaza, not outside Gaza.
00:52So that we have three lines. We have the blue one, yellow one, which we have, which we are right now, and then the red one, which I don't think we will reach that easily.
01:02So that's why I think the second phase, which is implementing with stability force, will be very difficult.
01:10And right now, it's facing some challenges, you know, that we are waiting for the final resolution by the United Nations.
01:19It will be composed of which countries.
01:22Remember that United Arab Emirates declared somehow that they are not that ready or not to participate with forces, even though they were interested or at least very, very potentially are interested to do that.
01:36Or we expected that there will be members of this force. So this force, composing it, and as you are aware, it's international force composed of Islamic and Arab states must be accepted by both, which I mean here, Hamas and Israel.
01:51And the time Israel does not look at Hamas as counterpart. And this is one of the main challenges.
01:56That's why you don't find this fire anytime. And also, we will not find this kind of agreement.
02:03And that's why, just before we start, we told you the difference between peace enforcement and peacekeeping in this case, because they want that all the mission to be implemented on Hamas only.
