When are you going to talk to Netanyahu about next Monday? Well, he's coming here. We're going to talk about a lot of things. We're going to talk about the great success we had. I mean, we had an incredible in Iran. We had an incredible success. It was a great, brilliant strike. And how to get go forward. [00:00:17] We're also going to talk about Gaza. We want to get the rest. We got a lot of hostages back, but we're going to talk about Gaza. Well, ahead of yet another meeting, another meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Donald Trump announced that he has helped broker a new agreement [00:00:37] for a cease fire, a 60 day cease fire, which is just a pause in a genocide. And he claims that Israel has agreed to the cease fire. But have they? Because right now, I think that your expectations should be tempered [00:00:55] if you're excited about a cease fire being agreed upon now on Truth Social. Yesterday, Trump posted the following. My representatives had a long and productive meeting with the Israelis today on Gaza. Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60 day [00:01:11] cease fire, during which time we will work with all parties to end the war. The Qataris and Egyptians, who have worked very hard to help bring peace, will deliver this final proposal, I hope, for the good of the Middle East that Hamas takes this deal [00:01:28] because it will not get better. It will only get worse. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Okay. How could it get any worse than every single building being bombed, every single hospital being completely and utterly destroyed, tens of thousands [00:01:44] of innocent civilians being killed? I mean, how does it get worse than luring innocent, starving Palestinians to humanitarian aid hubs only to shoot and kill them as they try to get their hands on some food to feed themselves and their families. [00:02:01] How does it get worse than that? I mean, when it comes to the Israelis and the Israeli government, I totally believe that it can get worse. So I'll just take Trump's word for it. But nonetheless, this idea that Israel has agreed to a ceasefire is false. Okay, so administration sources said that the deal was finalized [00:02:16] after months of behind the scenes efforts led by a special envoy, Steve Witkoff. Of course. But as usual, it seems that Trump has gotten out over his skis. So despite his statement, an Israeli source. This is reported by CNN, an Israeli source familiar with the matter [00:02:33] said Israel had not approved the new proposal, which revolves around timetables and guarantees for ending the war. The critical sticking points in previous negotiations. So I'm just going to pause for a second so we can get caught up on all the context, [00:02:49] because this has been the situation since the Biden administration. Netanyahu does not want to end the war. And I really get mad at myself every time I call it a war, because how can you even call it a war? They're just annihilating Gaza. Hamas doesn't have. [00:03:10] It's not a country with a military, with the kind of military capability that Israel has. The people of Gaza are trapped in that region, in that strip of land. They're just completely being annihilated. It's a genocide. So let's be clear about that. He doesn't want to end the genocide, okay? [00:03:27] He knows that the second he does, he's going to he's not going to have an excuse anymore. He has to go testify in his corruption trials. He doesn't want to do that. I think part of the reason why Trump is trying to get the corruption charges against Netanyahu dropped is so he'll finally agree to a ceasefire. [00:03:43] How pathetic is that? And by the way, who's who's the leader here? I thought Donald Trump was like this Alpha. I thought he had some pride. I thought he wasn't willing to get dog walked like other previous presidents have been by Israel. [00:03:59] I mean, Biden was just totally embarrassed, humiliated on a regular basis by Benjamin Netanyahu. But Trump's allowing the same thing to happen. They don't want an end to the war. Okay. And the sticking point isn't Hamas. The sticking point has always been Israel. [00:04:15] So I really do take issue with the way that he framed this whole negotiation process in his Truth Social post. Nonetheless, in other words, you know, Israel does not want to end the genocide in Gaza. And a source told CNN that this new version of a cease fire agreement [00:04:33] attempted to take into account Hamas concerns with the earlier proposal. During the ceasefire, Israeli hostages would be released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. The source added who, by the way, are also hostages. When you consider the fact that most of them haven't been charged with a crime, [00:04:51] they never get to see a judge or, you know, undergo a trial. They're just sitting in these Israeli prisons with no charges and no end in sight. So, sure. I guess you can call them prisoners, but I like to reserve that word [00:05:08] specifically for individuals who are accused of committing an actual crime. Anyway, of the 50 hostages who are still in Gaza, at least 20 of them are believed to still be alive. And as part of the latest proposal, humanitarian aid would once again flow [00:05:25] through UN run channels rather than this. Just absolutely horrific. US backed Gaza humanitarian aid foundation. These are the humanitarian aid hubs in which Israeli soldiers opened fire and shoot and kill desperate Palestinians who were trying [00:05:41] to get their hands on some food. And, more than 500 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid since the started operating in late May. Now, Netanyahu is apparently planning to convene his full cabinet on Saturday night to discuss this proposal. [00:05:57] I'm sure that it will be a good faith effort. Hamas, which has been pushing for a permanent ceasefire as opposed to a 60 day pause, has not agreed to the deal either. The group said it was studying the new ceasefire offer received from mediators in Egypt and Qatar. [00:06:16] Now, Hamas official Taher Al Nunoo said that the militant group was ready and serious regarding reaching an agreement. He said Hamas was ready to accept any initiative that clearly leads to the complete end to the war. [00:06:32] They've been saying the same thing for a while now, dating all the way back to the Biden administration. But again, Israel won't agree to that because they don't want an end to the war. Now, a senior Hamas official said in late May that the group is ready to return the hostages in one day. [00:06:49] Just. We want a guarantee that the war will not. I'm sorry that war will not come again after that. So again, they don't they don't want a temporary pause in fighting. They want this war to end. And I think that that's actually the best option for all parties involved. [00:07:07] But Hamas delegation is expected to meet with Egypt and Qatari mediators in Cairo on Wednesday to discuss the proposal. Trump, meanwhile, is scheduled to meet on Monday with Benjamin Netanyahu, and he told reporters yesterday that he would be very firm [00:07:23] in his discussions with Netanyahu, claiming that Bibi wanted to end the war. I don't think so. But here's what Trump said, quote, he wants to, meaning he wants to end the war. I can tell. I can tell you he wants to. I think we'll have a deal next week. [00:07:39] But in his first public remarks since Trump's announcement of this alleged ceasefire deal, Netanyahu made, no indication that he intends to accept. Hamas. As a. [00:08:02] Lawyer. So it's unclear yet whether anything will come of Trump's announcement. It really is reminiscent of all of the oh, we're so close to a ceasefire deal, reports that we were getting during Biden's administration. At this point, neither side has said that they're compromising on previous demands. [00:08:21] So we're right back at square one. There is no indication that anything has changed or that we're anywhere near a ceasefire next week. The only slight indication, though, of some movement toward an end to this war is that a Qatari foreign ministry [00:08:37] spokesman told CNN the Israel-iran agreement had created momentum for the latest talks between Israel and Hamas. But that's it. The suffering people of Gaza desperately hope the deal comes to fruition. [00:08:53] Adnan Al-assar, a resident of Khan Younis, says of Trump, quote, we hope he is serious, like he was serious during the Israeli-iranian War when he said the war should stop and it stopped. But some Gazans not so hopeful. [00:09:13] This is not the first time he has said this. Since the beginning of the war, they have been promising us something like this. Release the hostages and we will stop the war. Every time they say the war is ending, the war is ending. They kill us. The death toll rises and we lose more of our loved ones. [00:09:31] If they wanted to end the war, it would have ended a long time ago. This war will not end. But it is a war that will end us. Sadly, I think he's right. So as much as I want to feel a level of excitement, or maybe a little bit of hope [00:09:48] that there will be a ceasefire next week, I definitely wouldn't put money on it. I don't think it's going to happen. That's where my bet is, and it pains me to say that the war needs to come to an end. It's not a war, it's a genocide. Innocent people are dying. [00:10:04] We as Americans are using up our resources to aid and abet this genocide in Gaza. It needs to stop, and it needs to stop now. And it won't stop unless Trump is willing to be as harsh toward the Israeli government as he is toward Hamas or any other party when it comes [00:10:25] to these types of agreements. You know, treating Israel favorably has not worked out well in getting this war to end. So we'll see what happens. But again, I don't have much hope that there will be a ceasefire next week.
