Hi everyone, I'm Glenn Dyson and I'm joined today by Alexander McCurris and the renowned British diplomats, Alistair Crook.

Welcome to the both of you.

Thank you indeed.

So what we've seen is this new ceasefire agreement which Amas seemed to accept, well, they did accept while the Israelis were seemingly

more surprised as they rejected it, but the surprise might come from the American's position

towards this ceasefire agreement. So again, this seems very, very complex.

a document that was mediated by the US, Qatar and Egypt. First of all, in Cairo, and the Israelis didn't participate, chose not to participate.

They were invited, but chose not to participate.

And then on Monday, I mean this last Monday, it went to Doha, where it was polished and changed a little bit more.

And in neither occasion, because the changes were explosive, did the Americans, and we're

talking about Bill Burns, the head of CIA, didn't seem to give,

and this is from multiple sources in Israel. He didn't tell the Israelis the two were changes

taking place. But just to be clear, what are the changes? Okay, the really incendiary point, from the
