The EU played no role in the Israeli-Hamas negotiations, but could play an important one in implementing the deal, Hugh Lovatt, senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), told Euronews in an interview we feature on today's Radio Schuman.

Today's podcast explores with Lovatt the details of a deal, whether it represents a watershed moment for the region, and the role played by the imminent inauguration of Donald Trump as President of the United States. We also discuss the future of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid the war and the potential consequences a deal could have for his office and government.

We also take a quick look at European Parliament committee meetings coming up and at Ryanair's attempt to reduce consumption of alcohol in airports.

Today's Radio Schuman is hosted by Jack, with journalist and production assistant Eleonora Vasques, audio editing by David Brodheim. Music by Alexandre Jas.
