THE HOSTAGE DEAL - with Nadav Eyal
After fifteen months of war, and months of on-again, off-again negotiations, Israel and Hamas have reached a hostage deal, which is set to take effect this upcoming Sunday.
What are the key points of the deal? What should we expect - or brace for - as hostages return home to Israel? And - will this deal mean the end of the war?
To take in this historic development, and to help us understand all the above questions, we welcome back Nadav Eyal to the podcast.
