At a summit in Egypt on Monday, President Trump and world leaders signed the first phase of a ceasefire agreement aimed at bringing to an end the brutal two-year war between Israel and Hamas. Under the terms of the deal, Hamas on Monday released all 20 of the remaining hostages it had held since its attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, and Israel released nearly 2,000 Palestinians it held in jails. We’ll unpack what’s in the peace deal, what brought the parties to the table and what lies ahead for Palestinians returning to a devastated Gaza.

Guests:

Patrick Wintour, diplomatic editor, The Guardian

Zack Beauchamp, senior correspondent, Vox; author, "The Reactionary Spirit"

Gershon Baskin, involved in the back channels of negotiations for the end of the war in Gaza
