So we turn to Walid Ferris Fox's Middle East analyst and author of the coming revolution.
For the cease fires likely success in keeping the peace in the impact on the rest the region.
Walid thank you so much for joining us give -- your reaction to this breaking news right now.
What what we gonna see in the next 29 minutes or few hours is a possibility that there would be aimed major cease fire but not.
All operations -- and it is the possibly guess you just said that Hamas Islamic Jihad and others who continue to fire.
If you -- -- -- rockets or other rockets but the bottom line is that the two sides that would be Gaza under Hamas controlled.
Backed by Egyptian government and Israelis backed by the United States have agreed on the long term cease fire.
So let's not be shocked if in the next few hours they'll be exchange of fire.
And if god so accuse Israel that you have been breaching that at the end of the day the cease fire will hold.
But we have to analyze now who got lots from this agreement that -- agreed upon today.
Yeah I mean what is it gonna take to make it more lasting what do you need to hear the details of the agreement.
Look what it needs to happen basically is that everybody year feel that they have been satisfied if you -- quickly.
Israel will be satisfied if no rockets are gonna be fine against -- and that's all what they need.
Hamas would be satisfied if their leaders won't be targeted by Israel's very important -- then.
And no air raid over -- Gaza but they would have to pay a price which is no launching of rockets and who guarantees that.
President -- -- of Egypt's it to me.
The long term victim of all this equation is residents of that more CO -- because he's now.
That big peace -- in the region and he could demand anything from the United States this one time.
You're really -- do you think that they what would the United States giving -- -- return what do you think you'd ask for a what do you think we would do to keep this piece that's an interesting point.
Absent the committee so this goes back to what you and I discussed money for Egypt I -- from this.
Deal he's gonna get old who's gonna go to congress -- say we don't wanna send web no money and training would have you -- Egypt he's the king maker he's the peace maker of the of the region that's a big thing for -- -- Unbelievable so we're gonna send Egypt money in order hold all of us some place after they were the ones that were funneling missiles to Gaza -- two Hamas.
It it it you know -- reminds us of neighborhood politics and and policies here and elsewhere.
He's the one who basically encourage Hamas in -- -- he did not ask them to do so but yeah -- some of the missiles to go and you have to exchange of fire and he's the one who comes and say I can stop that fire against Israel at the end of the day it is all about money he's gonna get money out of this -- all right thank you so much Wally Ferris.
