right now the fragile truce between israel and hamas is holding despite each other violating the terms of the hostage deal reached five days ago. the idf is report this morning that three explosive devices were detonated near israeli troops in two different locations in northern gaza, and that hamas militants also opened up on the idf troops who responded with fire. now, hamas is calling the clash a quote, unquote field skirmish. this morning plumes of smoke were seen over gaza, and now, while this is happening, another group of the israeli hostages are expected to be released from the hamas captivity today, and the families were notified early this morning, and unclear if the firing in gaza does anything to jeopardize the plans. this is where things stand right now. 51 israeli citizens and 18 foreign nationals have been released by hamas since the pause began friday. the families of the hostages set to be freed today, as you heard, have been notified, and the families who
good idea for the french president macron to basically offer this $15 billion payment for iran basically for cooperating with them, for cooperation? no, i don t think it s a good idea at all. i think the timing is exactly the worst timing because we re seeing this iranian movement. iranians are expert negotiators, we should be, also. gillian: iran s foreign minister said earlier this week, any talks going forward with the united states are only going to happen if the united states, ie, president trump agrees to commit, recommit to 2015 obama nuclear deal. if you re a betting guy, what are you putting down on the odds of this happening? that s not going to happen, but again, iran iranian officials are master negotiators, these are various attempts to try to get leverage before they end up getting to a table. whereas the u.s. has said,
i don t think so. they ve got their own fear of instability of their economy slowing down, of demonstrations breaking out, not just in hong kong but if this is spread to chinese mainland cities, they are looking at the survival of their regime so there s a pretty serious incentive for the chinese to make a deal. the president as you know has talked about there may not be talks in september after all, so he s a pretty tough customer in these negotiations. i noticed, david, in the chinese book s shop one time, art of the deal is not only translate intoed chinese but best seller. not surprised. master negotiators in xi jinping and donald trump, which one will outsmart the other is still open. my money is on donald trump because our economy is bigger, at least for the time being, they are closing in on us, you know, but xi jibbing ping jinping is no pussy cat.
