Former Israeli Ambassador to the U.K., and advisor to Prime Minister Netanyahu, Mark Regev joins Andrea Mitchell to weigh in on the deal. “The basis of the agreement is there's a secession or pause in the violence for the duration of those four days, that has been agreed to and Hamas has committed itself to that. And if that is violated that's a major problem,” Regev tells Andrea. “Of course, they have committed to release 50 people, and that is their commitment, that is their obligation and that's what we're expecting.”
