US President Donald Trump's confident the momentum will continue beyond the first phase of a Gaza peace plan.
The Israeli Government's voting this morning on whether to implement the terms agreed with Hamas yesterday.
It would see hostages released early next week and Israeli troops withdraw to agreed lines.
US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking the remaining hostages are believed to be held by splinter groups, so getting them all together will be challenging.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Stayside, Richard ild morning, Good morning, mind. We we excited.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Many people are yes, we'll see what happens as this
play is on. But after two years of horror and
misery in the Middle East, there are new hopes with
the acceptance of phase one of this piece planned the
plan pushed by President Trump and its Cabinet session. A
short time ago, Trump revealed that next Monday or Tuesday,
that's Tuesday or Wednesday, your time is the deadline for
the return of the hostages. The twenties still alive and
(00:25):
the bodies of twenty eight Israelis who did not survive
their captivity.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Secured the release of all of the remaining hostages, and
they should be released on Monday or Tuesday. Getting them
is a complicated process. I'd rather not tell you what
they have to do together. There are places you don't
want to be. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Long suffering hostage families in Israel are celebrating, even as
some say they really won't be able to believe it
until it happens. Trump spoke by phone with some of
the family members and the White House released this recording
or coming back by Monday. Well, none of this has
been simple. During the ceasefire talks in Egypt, Israeli and
(01:03):
hamas delegates. We're not even in the same room. The
remaining hostages are believed to be held by several splinter groups,
so getting all of them together will be challenging, as
President Trump indicated. So Trump says he is planning a
trip to the region.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Working on the timing, the exact timing. We're going to
go to Egypt where we'll have a signing, an additional signing.
We've already had a signing representing me, but we're going
to have an official signing.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
He also spoke of the losses, the terrible losses on
both sides.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Dot Over seventh was terrible, but also from the Hammas standpoint,
they probably lost seventy thousand people. That's big retribution. That's
big retribution. But at some point that whole thing has
to stop.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah, everybody with a sense of human decency fully agrees
with that. As for other elements, right wing members of
the NITTNOHU cabinet are endorsing the hostage released what they're
calling it a cease fi, not an into the war.
But Trump was keih here. Last month, he voiced anger
over the Israeli air raid on cutup on an area
where Hamas was discussing peace efforts. Trump de managed at Netta,
(02:10):
who then call the cuveries with an apology, which was
shown on video. He also told the Israeli leader he
was opening new talks with the Iranians, and Trump is saying, now.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Iran wants to work on peace. Now they've informed us,
and they've acknowledged that they are totally in favor of
this deal. They think it's a great thing. So we
appreciate that and we'll work with Iran. As you know,
we have major sanctions on Iran and lots of other things.
Would like to see them be able to rebuild their
country too, but they can't have it it where well.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
So Trump has been very proactive with all this, even
as he has been openly campaigning for the Nobel Peace Prize,
which is due to announced in December. Some Trump allies
now are saying it should be renamed the Donald Trump Prize.
Others are simply suggesting this is a rare good moment
for the US of late. It is interesting that the
actions which often highlight US presidencies are the moments when
(03:02):
leaders split from their basic support groups, as with Nixon
to China, LBJ on civil rights and now Trump on
the Middle East. Of course, we'll see how this plays out.
This initial deal addresses only a few points of the
wider piece plan, and the UN Chief Terrists says more
is needed than silencing the guns. But this initial breakthrough
is very, very welcome.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And beed right out. Where's the Pelisades fire? Where are
we at?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
This is stunning this news over the worst bush fire
in LA's history. The Palisades fire killed twelve people, saw
the destruction more than sixty eight hundred homes and other buildings.
Twenty nine year old Jonathan rinder Necked has been charged
with arson, say officials.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
The allegations in the aphidavit are supported by digital evidence,
including the defendant's chat GPT prompt of a dystopian painting
showing in part a burning forest and a crowd fleeing
from it.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Here this is weird, weird stuff. They alleged he was
obsessed with deadly fires. So I've convicted. He faces a
lengthy prison term. But the the issue is this, he
sit the fire at a remote site, then the fire
crews failed to properly put that out, kept burning for
six days deep underground. Then when high winds whipped up,
it led to this astonishing devastation. So who's to blame.
Fire officials say it is the person who initially set
(04:16):
the fire, not the brave firefighters. Still there will be
many many questions now about what went so very wrong.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Indeed, you have a good week and Richard will catch
up next week. Also that cabinet meeting, by the way,
a number of interesting things were happening. Obviously, the peace talk,
all the peace talks of the peace deal were being discussed,
but domestic matters were dealt with. Two in Portland here
is Christy say.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
And met with the governor, met with the mayor, met
with the Chief of Police and the superintendent of the
Highway Patrol. They're all lying and disingenuous and dishonest people,
because as soon as you leave the room then they
made the exact opposite response. So we're looking at new
facilities to purchase. They're in Portland too, and we're going
(04:58):
to double down. And I told them if they didn't
meet our demands for safety and security on the streets
and work with us, than we were going to bring
in more federal law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So she's not for turning. Meantime, Jensen Pang I thought
made a very video. Of course, he made a very
interesting point. If Trump's H one B visa plane was
in place, he never would have made it to America,
never would have had one hundred thousand dollars. His family
came out, and what was interesting about his family in
the bit I didn't know. He was born in Taiwan,
moved to Thailand. He and his brother arrived in America
(05:30):
at the age of nine, but his parents only came
a couple of years later.
