Description

After two years of bloodshed, Israel and Hamas have agreed to phase one of a ceasefire deal.

It’s a moment of hope — and some skepticism — amid a war that’s had an enormous toll.

Where might this 20-point peace plan lead?

You'll hear from NPR's Daniel Estrin, as well as some of the many people in Gaza and in Israel who’ve talked to our reporters over the last two years.
