Hi there from CNN I'm Pala Ortiz with the five things you need to know for

Saturday December 2nd. Tensions between Israel and Hamas remain high as

the Israeli Prime Minister's office says negotiations reached a dead end

familiar with the negotiations, is over what exactly the terms of the agreement are and are there numbers left to continue what we've seen, which was for the release of women and children.
