00:00It's an anomaly of 440 days people are were kidnapped from their homes, from their beds,
00:06are in the hostages and kidnapped by Hamas and we need them back home. And there's a deal,
00:13but I have to say quite a heavy deal. Not easy decision to release from prison hundreds and
00:18hundreds of people who were convicted for terrorism. And there was objection to it in
00:23some parts of the population, but I think the government made the right choice. Heavy one,

00:36is overriding. And I think it's a good decision. It's still touchy. I hope it will go on all right.
