us secretary of state antony blinken returned to the middle east asking regional leaders to press hamas to accept the terms of a new deal. mr blinken says the offer is "extraordinarily generous". hamas negotiators have reportedly left peace talks in cairo, saying they will return with a response. our security correspondent frank gardner has more, from jerusalem. what's being debated is the permission by the israeli military for large numbers of palestinian displaced people, currently who are sheltering in the south of the gaza strip, in the city of rafah, to move back to their homes in the north. that's something that israel has resisted in the past. israel, reportedly, would also remove some of its forces from gaza. this would be during a a0 day truce. and there would of course be the exchange of hostages and prisoners. probably hundreds, if not thousands, of palestinian prisoners coming out of israeli jails in return for a rather lowerfigure than was originally demanded by israel — an initialfigure of around 33 israeli hostages. now, from the israeli side, there is dual pressure goi

it means that centcom, which is the part of the us department of defense that deals with the middle east, will put at iran's disposal much of its assets in the region, so air defense, warships, etc.. now, iran will have spent the last ten days calculating how it is going to respond to the attack on its consulate in damascus. i say consulate, but it was basically a military base next to the iranian embassy in damascus on april the first that killed 13 people, including a number of senior iranian revolutionary guards commanders. iran feels it has to respond to that, otherwise it looks weak in the region, but it's got to calibrate it very carefully. it does not want to get into a full scale war with israel. so if it fires, for example, ballistic missiles from iranian soil at israel, probably israel will be able to shoot them down and the us may help it on that. but israel has made it very clear it will respond with direct attacks on iran and then bang, you've got a full scale middle east war. iran's got a lot of ballistic missiles. so the gulf states, the gulf arab states are extremely nerv
