After american officials have labeled them the onlyremaining obstacle to peace, hamas in gaza suddenly announced they had accepted a ceasefire proposal. Scenes of jubilation in gaza were premature when israel did not accept their demands. For the latest, lets go live to chapman bell. Do we know what happened with the ceasefire . Reporter good morning, frances. Weve seen this time and time again. Negotiations for a temporary ceasefire in exchange for hostages or prisoners failing to come together. The two sides, hamas and israel failing to agree on language. Though this time, hamas said they had accepted a proposal for a ceasefire, and this was followed by celebrations on the streets of gaza. As you point out, those celebrations proving to be premature. Israel saying hamas did not agree on the same framework. Releasing a Statement Last night, they said the Prime Minister saying the war cabinet unanimously decided israel will continue its operation in rafah in order to apply military pressure on hamas to advance the release of our hostages and achieve the other objectives of the war. While the hamas proposal is far from meeting israels core demands, israel would dispatch a ranking delegation to egypt in an effort to maximize the possibility of reaching an agreement on terms acceptable to israel. Now this, as this statement came out, israels saying that they had began a precise Counter Terrorism operation in eastern rafah after encouraging residents to evacuate. And so far, though, the use of airstrikes there and Ground Troops dont appear to be the Major Military operation that has worried the white house. Though, well have to wait and see if they can try to resurrect this proposal and both sides come to agreement to bring about a ceasefire that has been long awaited, frances . Thank you.

Nbcs brie jackson joins us. And the judge again brought up the threat of jail time if the former president keeps talking. Reporter thats right, good morning, frances. The judge ordered mr. Trump to pay 1,000 more for criticizing the jury. This marks the tenth violation of the gag order. Judge juan merchan says it appears the fines are not serving as a deterrent. He says the last thing he wants to do is put the former president in jail but warned he will if its necessary. Mr. Trump suggested to reporters that hes not afraid of that possibility. This judge has given me a gag order and says youll go noto jl if you violate it, and frankly, you know what . Our constitution is much more important than jail. Its not even close. Ill do that sacrifice any day. Reporter and jury heard from jeffrey mcconney. He oversaw the Accounting Department at the Trump Organization during the time prosecutors accused mr. Trump of falsifying records. Mcconnie testified that he was ordered to reimburse Michael Cohen for a 130,000 payment to stormy daniels, with most of the money coming from mr. Trumps personal account. But he said he did not talk to mr. Trump about the business records. The jury was also shown checks written to Michael Cohen with Donald Trumps signature. Another Trump Organization employee testified that most of the checks were signed at the white house. Prosecutors estimate that they will need about two more weeks to call witnesses. Then mr.
