I'm going to have you along for the ride. Thanks a lot for stopping my glad to have this man on.

The first time I've had him on, Robert Greenway.

He's the director at the Allison Center for National Security

and Heritage and a ton of other titles as well

that we'll get to during the interview.

Robert, nice to meet you.

How are you?

Great to be on.

Thanks for having me. So I got up today got myself ready gonna

head off to the gym I'm watching Fox news great news we've got a deal to cease-fire

deal Hamas is gonna do this Israel's gonna do that cutters involved somehow, everybody's happy, but there

was really no deal at all, was there? Was there ever even the sumless of a deal or did Hamas just announce

we have a deal and there wasn't one? Well it looks like over the weekend talks broke down on a

number of fronts but it does look like whatever Hamas Qatar and

potentially Egypt had discussed over the weekend but not to include Israel

is what they announced that they had agreed with.

So essentially they agreed with their own proposal and I think they were counting on the

media to make common cause which they have done with them and throw everything into confusion

as Israel makes the final preparations for the final phase and operations in entering into Rafa.

Well, as we're looking at this, it seems to be that Hamas said here's the deal cutter said here's the deal and Egypt

said here's the deal and they thought that pressure would make Israel say we

agree to the deal? Yeah I think they were counting on it to confuse
