The ceasefire agreement would consist of different phases with the first one including the release of an agreed on number of hostages and Palestinian prisoners and the delivery of aid trucks into Gaza, former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Middle East Mick Mulroy says.

00:00Let's just be clear, and you did mention that, but I just want to emphasise this really for the benefit of our viewers.
00:04We're talking here, aren't we, about a pause in the fighting and not a complete end to the war, aren't we?
00:10That is true. It's in a phased manner.
00:13So the first phase would see a specified, agreed upon amount of hostages come out.
00:18It's not the full amount. It's primarily women and elderly, non-IDF soldiers.
00:26Then a certain amount of Palestinian prisoners to be released.
00:32It would also have the Israelis move out of some of the population centres, but not out of Gaza.
00:38And of course, it would have a specified number of trucks that would be delivered into Gaza for humanitarian aid.
00:46And that would be in the first phase.
00:48If that works, then they would negotiate to go into the second phase, which is more prisoners,
00:52more of the IDF presence out of population centres,
00:56all the way to, as you said, a permanent ceasefire if they get to the final phase.
01:01But this is just to get into a pause and into the first phase.
