And what needs to happen now, and they acknowledge in the letter and their response, is there now needs to be meetings which are occurring, even as I speak to you now, and hopefully will be finalized very quickly, on the logistics of that.

What that means is, you know, who goes in to get them?

Is it Red Cross?

You know, when do they show up, etc.

?

You know, what place are they going to be?

And the conditions have to be created for that to happen.

You know, you can't have bombs going off and fighting going on in the middle of this exchange.

So that's piece one.

The second, and we want to see that happen as soon as possible.

All 48 hostages, both living and deceased, and there's some need to be released.

And there's some logistical challenges to that that we'll have to work through.

But that work is happening even as I speak to you this very moment.

The second part of it, it's even harder, and that is the long-term peace.

What happens after Israel pulls back to the yellow line and potentially beyond that as this thing develops?

How do you create this Palestinian technocratic leadership that's not Hamas, that's not terrorists, and with the help of the international community?

How do you disarm any sort of terrorist groups that are going to be building tunnels and conducting attacks against Israel?

How do you get them to demobilize?

All that work.

That's going to be hard, but that's critical because without that, you're not going to have lasting peace.
