The President's Daily Brief
PDB Situation Report | January 18th, 2025: Gaza Ceasefire Deal Reached & Why Greenland Matters

And by the way, that doesn't even include the, you know, the soldiers who were injured or were fighting in Gaza or in Lebanon, the families of the soldiers who were holding their breath, waiting for their loved ones to come home. This is a country that is enduring a trauma that, you know, I think, you know, we haven't seen in this region in decades.

And, you know, it's going to take some serious healing here. But I do think that getting those 33 back will go a long way to start to make this country whole again.

Yeah, they're going to keep that border that you mentioned, the Philadelphia corridor. That's the area along the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. They're going to keep that. They're not going to have as many forces there, but they're going to keep this area.

That's going to prevent smuggling coming in from Egypt, which I think this is a country that's played a really nasty double game, negotiating the release, trying to be an honest broker, while also having presided over these tunnels. It's dirty stuff, and I think Egypt needs to be held to account. There's another area called Nitzarim Carter about two-thirds of the way up Gaza.

PDB Situation Report | January 18th, 2025: Gaza Ceasefire Deal Reached & Why Greenland Matters

The Israelis are going to be pulling out most of their forces there as well, but they'll be able to get back into it. It's semi-permanent structures now that the Israelis have created, and in the meantime, the Israelis are going to maintain security forces all around the border of the Gaza Strip, again, with the expectation that at some point, they will very likely need to go back into battle.

Look, I don't think they'll go to phase two. I think right now phase one does not demand that Israel stop the war entirely. Phase one demands that Israel pauses in order to execute this trade, right, for the Hamas prisoners, for these hostages. When that's done, that's when I suspect the Israelis are going to have a plan for the complete elimination of Hamas.

They've been very careful up until now. They've not wanted to really, I mean, you know, you hear all sorts of things about how this war is going. The Israelis have been fighting much more carefully than you'd think because they don't want to kill their own hostages. So they've been really careful. You get the vast majority of them out. I think it changes the game for the Israelis.
