• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Of the age of terror and death and the beginning
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: of the age of faith and hope and of God.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: It's the start of a grand concord and lasting harmony
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: for Israel and all the nations of what will soon
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: be a truly magnificent region. I believe that so strongly.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: This is the historic dawn of a new Middle East.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: This is a forty seven Morning Update special edition with
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Ben Ferguson.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: There is no other way to describe it but a story,
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: a Middle East piece deal, President Donald Trump describing as
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: prayers of millions have finally been answered with the signing
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: of the peace agreement. Now, there is a lot that
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: has happened in the last twenty four hours, and this
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: is the part that most are celebrating. Hamas released the
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: final twenty living Israeli hostages that have been held since
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: October seventh of twenty twenty three, many of them underground
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: the entire time. What we also know is we have
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: witnessed and seen the homecoming play out on TV and
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: social media. Families prayer fully crying, celebrating in tears without
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: words describe what it's like to see a loved one
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: they thought they may never see again. What happened in
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: exchanged is also important. Israel released one thousand, nine hundred
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: palace and entertainees and prisoners, including many who had life
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: sentences for their atroses against the Jewish people. We also
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: know that the bodies of some of the diseased hostages
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: are also being returned. At least fore caskets have made
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: it back to Israel. The exchange is part of a
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: broader ceasefire, a peace steel framework often referred to as
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Trump's twenty point Plan, that was agreed earlier this month,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: and under the deal, Israel is to partially withdraw troops
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: from Gaza to his designated line, while retaining control over
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: certain security zones, at least initially now. The plan envisions
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: handing over administration of Gaza to a body of technocrats
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: rather than Hamas directly, with oversight by international guaranteers. The
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: deal also calls for disarmament of Hamas, or at least
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: their relinquishment of overt military control, as a condition of
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: long term peace. A humanitarian aid push into Gaza is
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: also part of the agreement, with large scale deliveries planned
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: during the ceasefire period. Now a board Air Force one
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: en route to Israel Trump declared the war is over,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: and in his address to Israel's parliament, Trump framed the
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: release of the hostages as a quote new beginning for
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: the Middle East and stress that the deal is historic.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: He also reaffirms US commitment to prevent renewed war, saying
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: he would uphold the cease fire and not allow hostilities
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: to resume. Trump also joked about pardoning the Israeli Prime
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Minister in yet Yahoo and said he would fight for
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: whoever it may be to preserve peace. He thinked those involved,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: including Middle Eastern mediators, and push the twenty point piece
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: plan as the path forward. Every so often, something happens
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: that reminds us just how fragile our freedoms are. We
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: can't afford to take our rights for granted. We must
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: draw a line in the sand, and our friends at
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Patriot Mobile have been doing just that for more than
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: twelve years. The truth is there is only one provider
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: that boldly stands in the gap for Americans who believe
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: freedom is worth fire, and that company is Patriot Mobile.

• 5:28
  Speaker 3: in his own words, had this to say at the signing.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Take a listen It's a tremendous day for the Middle East.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: And you can see that this is probably the greatest
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: assemblage of countries in terms of wealth and power, maybe
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: ever assembled, and it's just an honored part of it.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: We're going to be signing a document that's going to
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: spell out of lot of rules and regulations and lots
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: of other things, and it's very comprehensive. But we've already
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: signed documents in the Middle East and having to do
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: with Israel and Hamas and just about everything else. And
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: it's really working out incredibly well. The hostages, as you know,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: were let go on time, on schedule. The very sad
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: situation of bodies, which was always a sad situation, and
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: they're being sought out and they're working with many different
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: people finding some were brought in and some were not,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and they're working out to find out where those bodies are.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: It's hard to believe that you even have to say
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: something like that. It's so sad, it's so sad. But
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: what's not said is that we have finally after I
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: guess they say three thousand years. I've heard from three
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: thousand years to five hundred years. But whatever it is,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: it's a lot, but this was the one. This was
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the granddaddy of them all, and frankly, I thought this
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: was probably going to be the toughest, and maybe in
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: many ways it was. But we had a lot of
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: good talent. Steve Whitcoff, Jared and Marco and Pete and
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: General Caine was so great. John Ratcliffe was incredible. We
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: had an amazing array.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Of talent, an amazing array of talent that was able
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: to bring all of this to reality. There was even
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: a shocking moment that happened in this country as the media, yes,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: even some Democrats surprisingly giving Donald Trump credit for the
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Gaza deal. One of those was Hillary Clinton, and here
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: is what she said.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: It's a really significant first step. And I really commend
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: President Trump and his administration, as well as Arab leaders
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: in the region for making the commitment to the twenty
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: point plan and seeing a path forward for what's often
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: called the day after. Most importantly, the conflict hopefully will
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: end with the ceasefire, the hostages will be returned, and
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: then the very hard work of rebuilding Gaza, of finding
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: the kind of security that Israel and the Palestinians after
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Hamas deserved to have. Moving forward with the other points
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: in the plan to try to create an opportunity for
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Palestinians to have a better life and for Israel to
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: have greater peace and security. I am very hopeful that
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: we'll be able to see progress. Today's a good start,
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: but we have to keep going from here.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: You can hear Hillary Clinton giving this type of gratitude
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: for the leadership of President Donald Trump doing something that
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden's team never got close to doing. And that's
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: not all the CBS Evening News opening their newscasts saying
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: this about President Trump.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: There is more hope for peace in the Middle East
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: tonight than there has been in a very long time.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: Hamas today released the last of the surviving Israelis held
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: hostage since October seventh, twenty twenty three, and Israel in
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: turn freed hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and detainees.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: This is the first phase of the Trump peace Plan,
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: but remember it is a twenty point plan and there's
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: still a long way to go. The President was in
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: Israel today meeting with families of the now free hostages
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: and addressing the Kanesset.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: The President said the long nightmare for Israelis and Palestinians
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: is over now, he said. It is time to turn
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: the battlefield victories against terrorists into the ultimate prize, peace
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: and prosperity for the entire Middle East.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: Mister Trump then traveled to Egypt to sign the peace
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: deal and hold a summit on the future of Gaza
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: and the region.
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: It's been a day of dramatic split screen moments, and
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: none more so than the sight of President Trump addressing
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: the Israeli Parliament at the final moment, as of final
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: hostages crossed out of Gaza and AID trucks rolled freely
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: into Gaza. The result was, after two years now a
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: brutal war, the unmistakable hope, the feeling in the air
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: that something big had finally changed.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: You listen to that news report. That is honest reporting.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: And that wasn't the only praise the President received, as
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: even those in the media that can't stand him could
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: not overlook the significance of his leadership bringing peace to
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: the Middle East.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: This was very much a peacemaker's speech.
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: Do you give him credit for this? Certainly?
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: I mean, this is an incredible accomplishment, an incredible moment.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: It's a terrific day for the hostage families.
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: It's a terrific day for President Trump for our national interests.
• 10:47
  Speaker 8: He should get a lot of credit. I mean, this
• 10:49
  Speaker 8: was his deal.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: He worked this out.
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: Listen, he got the deal across the finish line.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: There's no question things seem.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: Sort of possible now in a way that they didn't
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: necessarily before.
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: A better future ahead.
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: That's what today represented. It was so so powerful and
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: unbelievably emotional.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: You listen to those members of the media, those commentators
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: giving credit on networks that never give Donald Trump credit,
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: and it puts in a perspective just how significant this
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: moment actually is. Donald Trump's historic peace deal. On NBC,
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: they covered it this way.
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: From the moment he landed in Israel, the words thank
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: you visible from Air Force one and billboard to your
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: expressing gratitude. President Trump basted in the praise of a
• 11:32
  Speaker 8: country that credits him more than its own prime minister
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: for today's long awaited reunions, the President's name echoing through
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: Israel's parliament as he touted his landmark diplomatic success.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: This is the end of the age of terror and death.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: This is the historic dawn of a new Middle East.
• 11:52
  Speaker 8: Netta, Yahoo, praising his American ally, Donald Trump is.
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: The greatest friend that the state of his has ever
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: had in.
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: The White House. Going off script, the President called on
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: his Israeli counterpart to pardon Netan Yahoo, who was indicted
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: for allegedly accepting expensive gifts, which he denies.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Cigars and Champagne, who the hell cares about it.
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: The present, then heading to Egypt for a peace signing
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: ceremony with Arab nations and other world leaders who backed
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: the deal.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Peace has been achieved after untoiding efforts, efforts led by
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: President Trump.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: His landmark diplomatic success. How NBC News described it as
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: for what the rest of the world is thinking. Net
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: and Yahoo praising the deal, defending Israel's conduct over the war,
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: and express relief and joy over the hostages return. At
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: the summit held in Egypt, over twenty world leaders, including
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: the Egyptian president, joined with Trump to endorse the ceasefire
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: as well as the postwar plan, and as a part
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: of that, several countries committed to being guaranteurs of the agreement,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: the US, Egypt, Kutar, and Turkey overseeing security and reconstruction
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: in Gaza. The French president called for progress towards a
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: two state solution and announced plans for a humanitarian aid
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: conference for Gaza. Overall, many nations welcome the deal they
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: thought was impossible as a vital step towards peace, and
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: many of them said it's time now to get the
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: real work done for Gaza disarmament, security and reconstruction. If
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: you just step back and you look at what President
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Trump was able to do, there is no doubt. As
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: NBC News put it, Trump's historic peace deal. It is
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: his landmark diplomatic success and it's no telling how many
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: lives will be saved because of Donald Trump's leadership.
