| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Jen Rubin and this is Jen Rubin's Green Room. |
| 0:13.0 | On this rather short holiday week, there still is much news. |
| 0:19.0 | On the positive front, we've gotten word that there is an apparent truce between Israel and |
| 0:25.8 | Asbalah so that the fighting in the north will cease, at least for some period of time. |
