About this episode
Following intense negotiations, Israel and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire deal to end more than 15 months of war in Gaza. All Israeli hostages being held by Hamas will be released, while Israel’s soldiers will withdraw fully from Gaza, and allow 600 aid trucks per day to enter the devastated territory.
In the hours after the deal was announced, Jonny Dymond spoke to the BBC’s Chief International Correspondent, Lyse Doucet for this episode of The Global Story podcast. She breaks down the terms of this landmark agreement and tells us how these bitter rivals arrived at an accord.
