Why Hamas agreed to a ceasefire – but isn’t disarming yet
Donald Trump is in Israel today on a victory lap after securing what he claims is the beginning of lasting peace in the Middle East. The Gaza ceasefire – and with it, the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners – follows weeks of intense talks brokered by American negotiators.
Some of the hostage families have credited the US president with achieving the ceasefire, but his team has more experience in the New York real estate world than in diplomacy.
So how exactly did they achieve a deal? And will Hamas really agree to its next phase – disarming and having no role in Gaza’s future?
Guest: Lyse Doucet, chief international correspondent.
Producers: Lucy Pawle and Sam Chantarasak.
Executive producer: James Shield.
Mix: Travis Evans.
Senior news editor: China Collins.
