And even though the U.S.

was notified in advance, it told Israel not to do this again unless it was approved by Washington.

And that made it very clear that there are differences despite very close military coordination.

However, what I'm being told from Israeli officials is that it's very likely that Trump could end this war at any moment.

He can be unpredictable, as we know, and Israel is fighting as if every day is the last.

And yeah, they do have plans, at least on the Israeli side, to continue to kind of go and degrade the regime even after the war is over through other means, such as economic means and covert operations.

Thanks for having me.

This is a very long-awaited moment for Gazans.

So Gazans have not been able to have a crossing that allows them to leave and enter since the start of the war.

As we're talking now, it's Monday morning, local time in Israel.

We are hearing that Gazans are lining up at the border and the crossing process is beginning.

Those entering Gaza through the crossing have to be residents who left after the outbreak of the war in October 2023, not before the war.

That's a restriction that Israel wanted.

They're going to undergo security checks, both leaving and coming in.

And it's only going to be people.

So we're not going to see at this point any cargo or aid coming in through the crossing.

The reopening of the crossing is expected to facilitate the entry of a Palestinian technocratic body that is supposed to oversee day-to-day governance of Gaza as part of the second stage of the truce.

And it's going to be an early test to see how Hamas will respond to what it sees as a rival entity seeking to govern the enclave.

The war is grinding on, and negotiations for a ceasefire for hostage exchange are officially ongoing, but we haven't seen any breakthrough yet.
