Today’s Episode:

On Monday, October 13th, all 20 live hostages were returned to Israel and reunited with their families after two years in Hamas captivity. Israelis all over the country erupted in cheer, with tens of thousands of people in Tel Aviv’s hostage square celebrating as news of returns trickled in. Hamas has also handed over just 4 of the 28 bodies of deceased hostages, in what Israel is calling a “blatant breach” of the ceasefire agreement.

While all of this unfolded, President Trump landed in Israel, where he met with former hostages and hostage families and gave an hour-long speech at the Knesset in which he lauded his administration’s support for Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu’s leadership throughout this war. President Trump then traveled to Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt, where European, Arab, and Muslim leaders are meeting to discuss Trump’s plan for the future of Gaza.

To discuss all the many dramatic events that took place on this historic day, in which President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu declared that the war is over, Dan was joined by Ark Media Contributor Nadav Eyal and International Law Expert Tal Becker.

Today’s Episode:

Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase of President Trump’s plan to end the Gaza war which requires the release of all remaining living hostages within 72 hours. Israelis have responded with an overwhelming outpour of emotion. But what do we really know about the plan and its implications for the future of the region? Ark Media contributors Amit Segal and Nadav Eyal join Dan to unpack what we know and what we don’t at this historical juncture.
