Tämä on todella iso tehtävä, joka saattaa saada erinomaisen vastauksen Iranilaisille, kuten voidaan ajatella. Meillä oli se vaara viime vuonna, joka kestää noin 12 päivää Israelin ja Iranin välillä. Ja sitten meillä oli vahva vastaus Iranilaisille. Meillä oli kasuutteita Israelissa. Ja tiedätkö, kuinka kauan tämä toiminta...

Israelin, Iranin ja niin edelleen. Meidän täytyy odottaa, miten Iranin vastuussa tulee. Heidän sotilaallisuutensa on suurin piirtein vähentynyt viime aikoina, mutta heillä on edelleen mahdollisuus saada Israelin kaikkiin kohteisiin.

So phase one, of course, of Donald Trump's peace plan saw the release of the remaining Israeli hostages held by Hamas in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails.

We've now had the announcement of phase two.

Now, what that is meant to see is the establishment of a government of technocrats within Gaza, so figures from civil society, not fascists.

from Hamas.

The names of those individuals have been announced today.

But it is also meant to see the disarmament of Hamas and also the full withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza.

Now, that is problematic.

First of all, Hamas so far have said they are not willing to give up their weapons, and Israel has given no indication that it's ready to fully withdraw.

It wants to remain in place in Gaza.

It says to provide security.

The second point is, you know, we've got a ceasefire in place in Gaza for three months, but it is fragile at best.

In the past three months, since that ceasefire was announced in October, more than 430 Palestinians have been killed.

And then you've got the issue of the conditions in Gaza, which continue to be absolutely bleak.

More aid has got in.

but it's not enough and you know over the past week we've had some truly awful weather here in the middle east very very heavy rain heavy winds and you've got hundreds of thousands of people in gaza living in tents we've seen tents being ripped apart blown away in the wind it's cold

It's flooded.

It's grim.

So progress cannot come soon enough.
