RUSH TRANSCRIPT Peace through ░░░░░░░░ looks like Clarissa Ward ░░░░░░░░ me now here in ░░░░░░░░ Aviv I mean it ░░░░░░░░ been a remarkable day ░░░░░░░░ this is the case ░░░░░░░░ is certainly a cap ░░░░░░░░ an extraordinary 24 hours ░░░░░░░░ s it s head ░░░░░░░░ I think is the ░░░░░░░░ I would use the ░░░░░░░░ that the qataris after ░░░░░░░░ their sovereignty under attack ░░░░░░░░ then have the wherewithal ░░░░░░░░ broker or to mediate ░░░░░░░░ with the U S ░░░░░░░░ cease fire agreement is ░░░░░░░░ pretty extraordinary but I ░░░░░░░░ gives you a sense ░░░░░░░░ the behind the scenes ░░░░░░░░ there was a kind ░░░░░░░░ carefully choreographed sequence of ░░░░░░░░ going on here that ░░░░░░░░ allow everybody to have ░░░░░░░░ much needed exit ramp ░░░░░░░░ try to prevent this ░░░░░░░░ from escalating even further ░░░░░░░░ fact that when Iran ░░░░░░░░ this strike sending missiles ░░░░░░░░ Qatar they not only ░░░░░░░░ to all the reporting ░░░░░░░░ advanced word to Qatar ░░░░░░░░ also made a very ░░░░░░░░ announcement highlighting it that ░░░░░░░░ is just this is ░░░░░░░░ same number of missiles ░░░░░░░░ fired that were of ░░░░░░░░ that were dropped on ░░░░░░░░ two nuclear installations sort ░░░░░░░░ highlighting to the entire ░░░░░░░░ This is simply one ░░░░░░░░ to this And that ░░░░░░░░ it One and done ░░░░░░░░ and done That s ░░░░░░░░ message that they were ░░░░░░░░ to project It s ░░░░░░░░ playbook that we ve ░░░░░░░░ before in 2020 after ░░░░░░░░ Trump ordered the killing ░░░░░░░░ qassem soleimani they responded ░░░░░░░░ the strike on al ░░░░░░░░ airbase in Iraq in ░░░░░░░░ province But they did ░░░░░░░░ in a way where ░░░░░░░░ telegraphed in advance nobody ░░░░░░░░ seriously injured or killed ░░░░░░░░ so the region was ░░░░░░░░ to move forward Now ░░░░░░░░ are still things that ░░░░░░░░ go wrong Firstly we ░░░░░░░░ t had any official ░░░░░░░░ from the Iranians or ░░░░░░░░ Israelis We know that ░░░░░░░░ minister Benjamin Netanyahu was ░░░░░░░░ his security cabinet earlier ░░░░░░░░ he s in a ░░░░░░░░ narrow security cabinet meeting ░░░░░░░░ have been seeing as ░░░░░░░░ was just reporting an ░░░░░░░░ of Israeli strikes against ░░░░░░░░ targets a lot of ░░░░░░░░ messages coming from the ░░░░░░░░ Prime Minister Netanyahu earlier ░░░░░░░░ said we re very ░░░░░░░░ close to finishing what ░░░░░░░░ need to do IDF ░░░░░░░░ spokesperson later on saying ░░░░░░░░ ve got plenty of ░░░░░░░░ left Where is the ░░░░░░░░ truth of the matter ░░░░░░░░ guess we will find ░░░░░░░░ in the coming hours ░░░░░░░░ I would say that ░░░░░░░░ should all be bracing ░░░░░░░░ potentially for a heavy ░░░░░░░░ because as we ve ░░░░░░░░ time and time again ░░░░░░░░ conflicts when you announce ░░░░░░░░ ceasefire you give that ░░░░░░░░ you re basically all ░░░░░░░░ want to try and ░░░░░░░░ of prove their mettle ░░░░░░░░ in as many strikes ░░░░░░░░ they can before they ░░░░░░░░ that deadline Another thing ░░░░░░░░ I was struggling to ░░░░░░░░ from President Trump s ░░░░░░░░ Anderson was this idea ░░░░░░░░ a sort of staggered ░░░░░░░░ whereby potentially Iran would ░░░░░░░░ fire after six hours ░░░░░░░░ I guess now would ░░░░░░░░ be about four hours ░░░░░░░░ now And then Israel ░░░░░░░░ 12 hours So there ░░░░░░░░ definitely some ambiguity in ░░░░░░░░ of like the mechanism ░░░░░░░░ implementation of this And ░░░░░░░░ know we ll be ░░░░░░░░ to see what and ░░░░░░░░ Israeli officials are going ░░░░░░░░ come out and make ░░░░░░░░ public comments on this.
