Speaker 1 (00:01):
Now it's sevent ten wars. Beat on the Street with
Natalie Migliori. So are New Yorkers celebrating peace coming to
the Middle East? And do they think Donald Trump will
win or deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Natalie mcgleiori gets
the Beat on the Street.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Natalie, Yeah, good morning, Larry Well. Two days after remark
the two year anniversary of the Hamas attacks against Israel,
there may finally be peace in the Middle East. The
Israeli government is expected to approve the first phase of
a deal within the hour. So how do people in
New York feel about this news.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
We're happy that the hostages are going to come home,
and we're happy that hopefully things will be more peaceful.
There's a lot of question, I mean, when you make
deals with people that you know aren't established countries or
something like that, there are some fears. But we're definitely
hoping that the nightmare will be over for everybody after
two years.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
I think it's a mezing. I'm really hoping that it
goes through and that all of our hostages come home,
and I think it's the start of hopefully the next
phase of peace and prosperity for everyone in that area.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
The White House expects remaining hostages to be released. Israel
believes twenty of the forty eight are still alive. Palestinian
prisoners will also be let go Israel, we'll pull back
troops in Gaza in stages. People took to the streets
in Gaza to celebrate, but are much more skeptical here.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
I don't think there's any trust, but I think there's
a reality that you have to sometimes make an agreement
with a party you don't trust because you can't keep
on just stretching out and fighting the war in a
situation where the families are suffering.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
And I feel like they've done this before, where they
agree and then they're like, oh, actually we have extra
contingencies that we want to put on it, and they
keep changing, which is why I am not posting anything
or celebrating until, like, we actually physically have our hostages
back in Israel.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
And this part of the peace plan may have been
discussed in Egypt, but was put forth by the Trump administration,
which already has people speculating that the president deserves a
Nobel Peace Prize for this. So do people agree only?

Speaker 5 (02:20):
No, I mean whatever he does is by pure accident.
It's a fool's look. I mean, he's not the only
one who's been working on this. I think we really
have to look to Europe who really led these talks.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
No, I think he's done a lot of work in
getting this done, but I think there are a lot
of people behind him that have helped as well, And
so to achnowledge this one person would feel wrong in
my opinion.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
I think if somebody deserves something, he definitely deserves it.
I mean it's not just there. I mean he's had
peace deals with Indian Pakistan and come and go and
r run to another place, and so I think, you
know he's trying.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, and this has been along two years for the
people fighting the wars, the people involved in this, just
anybody who kind of feels like they're emotional. I've been
spending two years chasing down people on this topic, lowry,
many of whom just don't want to talk. I've been
to Columbia University, which was at the center of pro
Palestinian protests, more times than I could count, and it

(03:19):
was always a houtle to get people's opinions on this
specific topic. So this morning I asked people, why do
they think it's so difficult for people to talk about
this specific issue.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
I think cancel culture is really scary. I think like
people are afraid for their jobs. But it's really sad.
I think it's become so polarizing that people can't have
a discussion without like firmly believing their view, especially people
who have no tie to this conflict at all.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
It's hard to pay attention to a lot of the
international news because America is so with The Trump administration
is so scary. So I glance at the news. They
good to yoga to chill out.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I think I'm gonna take up yoga, but this job,
I better start doing the downward dog or something. I
don't know. And you know, but but that's really what's
going on. Are you gonna join me in yoga?

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Got no?

Speaker 1 (04:18):
I don't look good in yoga. It's a real bad
look for me. By the way, I think the reason
people won't talk about it is because they don't want
to give Donald Trump the credit they do in Israel,
they do in Palestine. In this country, they don't want
to give him the credit. And and you know what,
I kind of like that better because those are the

(04:41):
people that know he's the one that did this, and
so at least internally they know the truth. They just
don't want to say it out loud. That's that's what
I think was going on.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
What a take, But you know, every morning it would
be even under the abided administration, it would have been
a hustle to get something body to talk.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
He won the Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing, doing
nothing doing the Obama administration. He didn't do a thing.
He just got into office. He got elected. That's why
they gave it to him.
