00:00We are hearing from Qatar where the talks are taking place that Israel and
00:05Hamas are quote at the closest point yet to sealing a deal. How much longer do you
00:11think we'll have to wait? I think very very soon. It could be today, it could be
00:15in the coming days. We understand that there's a delegation from the Islamic
00:19Jihad that's now in Doha or on the way to Doha to consult with Hamas. Basically
00:24Hamas needs their agreement because they're also holding Israeli hostages. So
00:28I think we're looking really at the end of the deal. The Israelis have some
00:32problems to overcome with the issue of releasing Palestinian prisoners but we're
00:36really really really close now.
