Is a Hostage Deal on the Horizon?

Tug of War

About this episode

Israel says more than 240 people are being held hostage inside Gaza after being abducted on October 7th. For weeks, negotiators have been working behind the scenes on a deal that could allow for the release of dozens of them in exchange for a short pause in the fighting, according to two sources familiar with the talks. In this episode, CNN Chief National Security Correspondent Alex Marquardt tells us what sticking points remain and examines how the Biden administration is balancing diplomacy with political pushback over how it’s handled the war.
