Haggi Matar: Israeli Journalist on the Israeli response to the Gaza peace plan

Description

The next phase of the Gaza peace talks could test Benjamin Netanyahu's loyalty.  

His Government's voting today on approving the first phase of a ceasefire plan, agreed with Hamas.  

It involves Israeli troops retreating to agreed lines, a cessation of fighting, and the release of hostages.  

Israeli journalist Haggi Matar told Mike Hosking the Israeli Prime Minister has effectively promised his base he'll continue the war and eradicate Hamas.  

He says it's pretty certain that's not what Qatar and the Trump administration are after, so hopefully they will continue to press both sides to agree.
