Hi, Mike Baker here. I'm currently in the Middle East, crossing the deserts of Saudi Arabia and Jordan by camel during a month-long expedition to raise awareness for the UK Special Forces Benevolent Fund. But don't worry, Mike Slater has got you covered on the President's Daily Brief while I spend my time pouring the sand out of my boots.
Thanks, Mike. It's Thursday, 16 January 2025. Welcome back to the PDB Afternoon Bulletin. I'm Mike Slater filming for Mike Baker. Let's get briefed. Today, it appears the breakthrough ceasefire deal reached yesterday between Israel and Hamas is already at risk, as Israeli leaders delay a vote on the draft agreement, accusing Hamas of making last-minute demands that go back on their promises.
Later in the show, Russia is reportedly recruiting Indian men into its military with promises of work and educational opportunities, only to deploy them to the front lines in the war of Ukraine. The recent death of an Indian man in Ukraine has reignited the issue, fraying otherwise strong diplomatic ties between New Delhi and Moscow. But first, today's afternoon spotlight.
I want to return to our coverage of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delayed a scheduled vote to finalize the agreement, citing last-minute demands from the terror group as the reason for the postponement. Netanyahu sagte, dass die Thursday-Meeting nicht weitergehen würde, bis Hamas auf solche Anforderungen zurückgezogen wäre.
In einem Statement hat Netanyahu gesagt, dass Hamas an Teilen des Vertrages mit den Mediatorn reingegangen hat. Notabene hat Netanyahu nicht spezifisch gesagt, welche Elemente des Vertrages an der Sache waren. Hamas hat aber Netanyahu's Anliegen negiert.
Ein Mitglied des Terrorgruppes Politiker-Wing hat seine Bemühungen zur mediativen Zerstörung, die von Qatar, Ägypten und den Vereinigten Staaten am Montag erhoben wurde. In einem Interview mit einem arabischen TV-Outlet hat ein Hamas-Senior-Offizier Netanyahus-Allegungen als unabhängig genannt.
Die konflikten Narrativen haben Angst vor der Abschaffung des Vertrages, der erwartet wurde, dass ein Ende zu den 15 Monaten der Krieg in Gaza kommt. International expressed his appreciation for the roles of outgoing President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump in brokering the ceasefire deal with a phone call on Wednesday. Despite the external backing, Netanyahu faces domestic opposition.
Hardline members within his coalition government are staunchly opposed to any negotiations with Hamas, even if it secures the release of hostages held since 7 October 2023. Several of these coalition members threaten to resign if the ceasefire deal proceeds, potentially prompting the dissolution of Netanyahu's administration.
