Squawk Pod

About this episode

Israel and Hamas have agreed to an exchange of hostages and prisoners that could lead to a ceasefire in Gaza. CNBC’s Eamon Javers reports on America’s role in brokering the deal, and Council on Foreign Relations President Michael Froman discusses the next stages of progress in the region. Stateside in Washington, the government shutdown continues. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) shares his party’s willingness to discuss the Democrats’ health care demands–after the shutdown ends. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) maintains that his party will stand firm on addressing American health care concerns. Plus, PepsiCo’s quarterly report beat estimates for earnings and revenue.
