International opposition to a possible Ground Operation in rafah, where more than 1 Million People have sought shelter Egyptian State media is now reporting significant progress in talks over a Gaza Ceasefire and Hostage Release Deal delegations from israel and hamas Headed To Cairo for negotiations that are said to be quote, bringing Points Of View closer together that came on the same day demonstrators took to the streets in jerusalem to demand the release of the remaining hostages held in gaza on these are our people and we cant stand another day without them coming home. And its above politics love religion, its a humanitarian issue and thats what were here to shout today its been wedeman this report before the latest word on progress from Qarrah The Stage is set for a new round of talks in cairo aimed at reaching some kind of ceasefire in gaza, given an additional sense of urgency by the us following President Bidens thursday phone call with israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu biden urged attend yahoo to try and reach a deal. The Prime Minister already facing growing domestic demands to bring the hostages home. President biden also urged cut that in egypt, the principal mediators in these talks to pressure hamas as well. The basic outlines of the deal have been and on the table for months that first a ceasefire, hamas wants a permanent one. Israel clearly looking for a temporary halt in hostilities. Second, an exchange of hostages held by hamas for palestinian prisoners and detainees in israeli jails what needs to be worked out is the ratio of palestinians for every hostage and finally, the return of hundreds of thousands of displaced palestinians to their homes in Northern Gaza. If that is, they have homes to return to cia director William Burns is in cairo along with the cut that in foreign minister, the hamas delegation is led by Senior Leader highly little higher israeli officials tell cnn, there delegation should to cairo will have an expanded remit to negotiate the details though the final decisions still risks with the Cabinet Failure once more to reach an agreement will have deadly consequences. Im ben wiedemann, cnn reporting from beirut Aaron David Miller is a Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for international peace, and a former Us State Department middle east negotiated. He joins me now from washington. Good to have you with us thanks for having me was very six months into the gaza war that was triggered by the october 7 hamas attacks in israel. Is this conflict at a Turning Point as a result of last weeks deadly israeli strikes on those seven world central Kitchen Aid Workers that angered President Joe Biden and intensified the strained relations between him and Prime MinisterBenjamin NetanyahuTurning Point toward a better outcome or worse one i mean, i think 600 is war. What i think i can say with real certainties that israelis and palestinians are in and what i would call a strategic culdesac and right now, i see no way out. There is the possibility negotiations are ongoing in cairo now limited Hostage Exchange 45 israelis, women, the elderly, and the infirm from a symmetrical number of palestinian prisoners, 100 of which were either convicted of or accused of killing israelis. And a 45 day cease fire that will not end the war. So i not sure i would use the word Turning Point or Inflection Point i think it is safe to say that the Israeli Ground campaign has taken a sort of a downshift. Israelis started with 100,000 forces in their beginning of the Ground Operation. They withdrawn most of those from my Northern Gaza central gaza and i think only one brigade remains anywhere from three to 5,000 Israeli Forces controlling the eastwest highway road that cuts gaza in two. So in that sense, i think it is a Turning Point, but it is by no means are we closer to the end of the war right . And you mentioned israel withdrawing those trypsin Southern Gaza its also said to reopen the Erez Crossing into Northern Gaza temporarily to allow more humanitarian aid into the enclave in response. Monster President Bidens call to do more to help civilians. But again, will this be deemed enough well, it really depends. I think that the Prime Minister is on probation. I think the president made very clear, but i also think that joe biden does not want to sustain in confrontation. He does not want to exercise the leverage that he has. Certainly the key leverage which is to restrict or condition military assistance. So hes given the Prime Minister or a test, frankly, that you israeli should have passed two months ago the Port Of Ashdod is only what, 20 miles from Northern Gaza. Its replete with screening facilities. They could have handled an enormous amount of International Humanitarian assistance then he went could have trucked it into Northern Gaza instead of having to go all the way to care and shalom or rafah. So i think the israelis couldnt do a lot to satisfy the administrations demands i think thats not too strong a term that they knew more on humanitarian aid, but none of that is going to bring the war any closer together to an end. What you need is an israeli hamas agreement to begin, to hope that you could build on that to deescalate Military Activity on the israeli side. And clearly hamas as well and free the remaining hostages. But thats gonna be a very tough lift. And it is not going to happen anytime soon. Were looking at months, more of what weve seen before. And the main israelis have been out on the streets calling for the resignation of their Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, while ultraorthodox jews have also been demonstrating against efforts to have them included in conscription requirements. How shaky is netanyahus hold on power, right now the polls suggests that the vast majority of israelis won elections and they dont want Benjamin Netanyahu as their next Prime Minister. The problem is theres really no mechanism to remove him the only way to do it is if in fact his coalition, 65 seats somehow fractures, which would then require knesset majority to schedule a new elections roughly three months for when that when that legislation passed. But right now, Gadi Eisenkot and Benny Gantz Sit in the war cabinet. He israeli public is demonstrating, but as you pointed out, rose mery, there any number of of reasons for the demonstrations and you need a united, literally what you had in the judicial reform period when for 40 weeks you had hundreds of thousands of israelis out in the streets you dont have that yet, and you need that and you need benny gantz, i think to leave the war cabinet and address the nation as to why he is leaving. And even that might not shake the most rightwing extremist government. The coalition in israels history Aaron David Miller, appreciate your analysis and perspective on this. Thanks for being with us. Thanks for having us and israeli official says the reopening of the Erez Crossing for humanitarian aid has been delayed. It was set to open on sunday, but Officials Say theyre still making what they call logistical preparations to ensure the checkpoint can accommodate truckloads of aid. Despite the urgent need and us pressure, the Israeli Military agency in charge of Aid Deliveries says, it will announce the crossings opening, quote, once a date is set, the world food programmes executive director cindy mccain, says a massive amount of muchneeded food is just waiting to get into gaza.
