After two years of devastating war, a breakthrough: Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase of a ceasefire deal. President Trump announced the agreement last night following days of tense negotiations in Egypt. Under the terms, Hamas must release all hostages held since the Oct. 7 attacks, living and dead, while Israel begins a phased withdrawal from Gaza and frees hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. The news has been met with cautious celebration in Israel and a glimmer of hope that rebuilding and healing can finally begin. But as many warn, the most challenging part may still lie ahead: turning the promise of peace into reality. Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel joins host Yasmin Vossoughian from a van on the side of the road in Tel Aviv. We will also speak with Salma Altaweel, who lives in Gaza and works for the Norwegian Refugee Council. She tells us what she hopes this deal means for the future of her homeland. Additionally, NBC News National Security Analyst Jeremy Bash, a former chief of staff at the CIA and the Pentagon, gives insight into how these high-stakes negotiations unfolded.
