This thing is fragile right now.
And then my second point here is Biden had a peace deal in place over a year ago, and it was widely reported that Trump at the time told Netanyahu to tank it because it would hurt Trump politically and make Biden look good.
Think about how many people died in those 12 months or so, how many children in Gaza were murdered, and how many extra hours and days the hostages had to be held, all because Trump didn't care how fast the peace deal was actually reached, but rather who it was that achieved it.
So that's my two cents here.
Caution, cautiously optimistic here, but I don't know what the phase two of this looks like.
And that gives me cause for concern.
And here's the thing, Jordy, I'm not sure Donald Trump knows what the phase two looks like.
Of course, he has this, you know, big kind of 30 point plan or whatever he calls it.
But whenever he's pressed on these issues, he doesn't seem to have an answer.
And that's what concerns me, to say the least.
And I just to clarify for, you know, people are like, what?
I thought all the hostages came home.
Well, they're also the bodies of deceased hostages, which is what Jordy's referring to.
And four were returned by Hamas, but they were supposed to return 28 hostages.
And so now the Israeli government is saying, hey, where are the other 24 individuals who are supposed to be returned for us?
I saw a bit of misinformation, disinformation that was spreading, saying, have you noticed that there's no women who were in this batch of hostages and implying that they were all killed?
They were released during the Biden administration, the women who were
left in that group.
So I do want to clarify that as well.
But for example, we played this clip the other day.
