John Bolton: Former US National Security Advisor on the ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Donald Trump is set to host Israel's Prime Minister at the White House as the US pushes for a ceasefire in Gaza. 

The BBC reports Israel and Hamas resumed indirect talks in Qatar but ended after three hours without a breakthrough. 

Former US National Security Adviser John Bolton told Heather Du Plessis-Allan there's no compromising between the two sides. 

He says Hamas' objectives are to get Israel out of Gaza, while Israel's is to destroy Hamas as a military and political force. 

Discussions to strike a permanent deal with Iran in the wake of recent airstrikes on its nuclear facilities are expected to also be on the table.
