Description

U.S. president Donald Trump announced Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase of a Gaza peace deal. The details of the full peace agreement are still to be sorted out in the next phases of the deal — but this phase would mean the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, a ceasefire, and aid entry into Gaza. We talk to Gregg Carlstrom, the Middle East correspondent for The Economist, CBC’s Adrienne Arsenault who was in Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, and Zaha Hassan, a human rights lawyer and senior fellow in the Middle East Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace about what this ‘“first phase” means — and what will follow.
