RUSH TRANSCRIPT Scott Professor ░░░░░░░░ how would you assess ░░░░░░░░ chances of this phase ░░░░░░░░ actually going through and ░░░░░░░░ being completed SKINNER It ░░░░░░░░ all we have and ░░░░░░░░ have to have hope ░░░░░░░░ we have to have ░░░░░░░░ lot of strategy And ░░░░░░░░ s why even before ░░░░░░░░ was sworn in on ░░░░░░░░ 20th Donald Trump and ░░░░░░░░ team began to work ░░░░░░░░ with the Biden Administration ░░░░░░░░ the various phases of ░░░░░░░░ ceasefire deal understanding that ░░░░░░░░ s probably the most ░░░░░░░░ diplomatic task of the ░░░░░░░░ half of 2025 in ░░░░░░░░ the United States is ░░░░░░░░ As General Jack Keane ░░░░░░░░ said in the clip ░░░░░░░░ played trying to have ░░░░░░░░ IDF withdraw completely from ░░░░░░░░ and have Hamas disband ░░░░░░░░ you know virtually impossible ░░░░░░░░ we look at it ░░░░░░░░ now But given the ░░░░░░░░ that Donald Trump really ░░░░░░░░ a curveball in these ░░░░░░░░ when he declared that ░░░░░░░░ should be depopulated and ░░░░░░░░ that may or may ░░░░░░░░ happen has put some ░░░░░░░░ under the Arab states ░░░░░░░░ the leaders of Qatar ░░░░░░░░ Saudi Arabia Jordan Egypt ░░░░░░░░ UAE have come together ░░░░░░░░ to develop an Arab ░░░░░░░░ an Arab plan I ░░░░░░░░ they will take up ░░░░░░░░ plan on March 4th ░░░░░░░░ the Arab League But ░░░░░░░░ includes elements that reinforce ░░░░░░░░ possibility of a successful ░░░░░░░░ two The remaining hostages ░░░░░░░░ both sides are hostages ░░░░░░░░ prisoners are being released ░░░░░░░░ a way to get ░░░░░░░░ out of Gaza completely ░░░░░░░░ the Arab leaders don ░░░░░░░░ want a Hamas led ░░░░░░░░ Strip So all of ░░░░░░░░ I think really will ░░░░░░░░ contingent on the Arab ░░░░░░░░ coming through with a ░░░░░░░░ that counters what President ░░░░░░░░ puts forth and more ░░░░░░░░ diplomacy by Israel and ░░░░░░░░ U S as they ░░░░░░░░ closely with Arab partners.”
