The Plan to End the Israel-Hamas war. And Why It Might Fail.

The Big Story

About this episode

US President Trump touted about a 'great breakthrough' in a deal to bring peace to Gaza, although the two main characters in the fight seem to remain in a deadlock on who moves first.

Hamas says Israel will have to withdraw forces before they disarm, meanwhile Israel says Hamas needs to disarm before they withdraw.

Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Nader Hashemi, a professor of Middle East politics at Georgetown University to discuss what's at stake for the Palestinian territory should the militant group disarm, and the future of Israel just a few months out from its national election.
