Yeah, so the Biden administration worked closely with Trump people in these negotiations. So a real estate mogul turned Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, met with Netanyahu on Saturday. He made it very clear that he wanted to get this done. What I have heard from his meetings between him and hostage families is that they got the impression he was very serious, wanted to get this done.

So he really brought new energy that kind of helped this get it through.

It's a really tough question because I think the Biden administration has been in the thick of this for so many months. And it's been grueling negotiations that have seemed impossible many times. So I think the Biden administration does deserve a lot of credit.

But Trump's pressure, his deadline, the fact that he was able to pressure Israel more effectively and also Hamas, I think helped get it done.

Yeah, the journey isn't quite over. So at this moment, we have the US, Qatar, Egypt, and Hamas announcing that they have reached an agreement for a ceasefire. Israel has not yet announced that. So what is happening is that Netanyahu has not presented the public yet with a ceasefire, made an argument for it. And it still needs to pass two votes.

So one in the security cabinet and then the government. And there needs to be another period of around 24 hours for people to petition against it to the Supreme Court. And then it can go into effect. But so far, we haven't had a vote yet. So this is causing a lot of anxiety, I would say.

So we are hearing that there are some problems in the negotiating room about details. So, for example, from Hamas's side, bringing up names of high profile political prisoners that they want released from the Israeli side, saying that they want to maintain forces in certain areas in Gaza. We still do think it could be resolved.
