In fact, it was the French and the British that carved up the Middle East.

As Joel Gilbert said, create these artificial nation states that have kind of been part of the problem ever since.

Your thoughts through your beady eyes there in Rome.

Ben, stick right there.

Ben Harnwell, our international editor in...

In Rome, Joe Gilbert, Ben's kind of right.

I mean, there is an agreement to release these hostages.

There's some sort of agreement about Hamas laying down its arms and Hamas maybe going back and being some interim security force for some short period of time by the IDF.

pulls back and of course you've got the celebration there with the hostages but there's a lot of this that's not really particularly defined now it's this afternoon in at the red sea resort in egypt i think there may even be a couple of documents that are going to be signed or at least agreed to but this thing is still pretty pretty soft around the edges is it not

I agree.

It started out as Sunday night.

Hamas had to take it or leave it.

That was like a week ago.

And then it turned into a hostage exchange deal with the other points to be negotiated and worked out later.

The Egyptians, Turks, and Gulf Arabs jumped all over and said, okay, let's have our own little peace agreement and summit, and we're going to fund and create a Palestinian state in Gaza.

I think they're putting together a political united movement to demand a Palestinian state not only in Gaza but in the West Bank and Jerusalem.

to help influence the Israeli election next year that will say, hey, we're going to give you peace, we'll stop trying to kill you, just give us all this land, and we'll have peace in the Middle East, and they'll try to see if the Israeli public will go for it, in which case Israel will be entering another peace agreement, and I think they'd be setting themselves up for more disappointment, just like the peace treaty with Egypt, because

Egypt saw the agreement with Israel completely differently than Israel saw it.

Israel got to Sinai and remained a hostile force.

Egypt allowed the arming of Hamas.
