About this episode
Indirect talks between Hamas and Israel in Egypt are underway, with the goal of reaching an agreement on the first phase of U.S. President Donald Trump’s Gaza proposed peace plan. It would see the release of all remaining Israeli hostages by Hamas and potentially, over a thousand Palestinians detained by Israel as well as a ceasefire. The overall plan aims to end the war altogether.
But after previous hostage exchanges and ceasefires have failed to bring a permanent end to the war, what’s different this time? Are they any closer to peace?
William Christou, a freelance journalist working for The Guardian currently in Jerusalem, joins Jayme Poisson
to parse through Trump’s plan, the talks so far and how people in Israel and Gaza are reacting to it all.
