After 15 months of relentless killing and destruction, Israel signed a cease-fire agreement with Hamas. What’s next?
Israel and Hamas signed a cease-fire agreement that includes the release of Israeli prisoners in exchange for hundreds of Palestinians held by Israel. Future phases are focused on Israeli withdrawal and the management and reconstruction of the decimated Gaza Strip.
Former US National Security Council official Charles Dunne tells host Steve Clemons that with so many moving parts, it’s hard to predict how far the deal will go.
But at the same time, Dunne argues, US President Donald Trump is motivated to close the chapter on the Palestinian-Israeli issue and shift focus to a peace agreement between Saudi Arabia and Israel.
