hours? >> well, apparently, brandi, there are many challenges ahead, it is not clear cut or cemented. essentially you can look at its a two stage process. if you like. first stage. both sides to stop the hostilities what they're doing. no fighting between the two side. then they can sit down to hammer out a longer lasting peace that deals with the terms that have been requested by both sides. such as israel easing the blockade on gaza. israel says within the next 24 to 48 hours, talks will start on the restrictions on the gaza strip. hamas has to stop firing rockets. and stop border attacks as well as rearming themselves. so this is the sgd second stage of the process which is more difficult to achieve for a long-lasting period of calm. as i said if there is some kind of violation, misunderstanding of the terms being put forward, israel says it has the right to defend itself and will do so. >> okay. we can only hope this goes, continues to go in a positive direction. lama hasan, reporting live from jerusalem. thank you so much, lama.
