So Netanyahu and people close to him would say, you know, we can't propose any kind of alternative until Hamas is destroyed. And now, you know, would be that moment. Now we need to see what's going to happen.

So I think from my conversations with hostage families, there's a lot of anxiety in the air. People are afraid that they've been let down before and they say that they will believe it when they see it. We also have opponents to the deal in Israel. So we have had some smaller protests, hundreds of people who oppose the deal and have taken to the streets, but it hasn't been very large numbers.

But yeah, so I don't think you're seeing the same images of celebrations as you're seeing coming out of Gaza. It's a bit different here.

So the Gaza enclave has been through just a devastating air campaign, a land invasion. Parts of the strip have been just decimated. There's just, you know, in Jabalia, we've seen photos where it's just rubble. So we've seen just celebrations, like people just so happy that this is coming through, waiting for this for so long.

These two men have been tough negotiators, kind of going head to head, not agreeing. At certain points, it seemed close. You know, we thought that we were going to reach a deal. And, you know, sometimes it was, you know, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu just... insisting on certain things. And, you know, sometimes we would hear from mediators and Israeli negotiators that he was sabotaging a deal.

So you have all these moments that kind of came together and weakened Hamas. And that made Hamas, I think, understand that it had to make some serious concessions in the negotiations. And then we had another factor that was very important, and I would say that's the Trump effect.
