Jennifer Loewenstein joins 8 O’Clock Buzz host Tony Castañeda to discuss the assassination of two of Hamas’ senior leaders in recent days, and how the killings may affect the ceasefire negotiations underway in the 10 month Israel-Gaza war.  One of those killed, Ismael Haniyeh, was seen as someone who could have signed a prisoner exchange deal with the Israelis, a key component of the ceasefire framework that had been proposed by mediators.
