Analysis of the Recent Deal to Release Hostages in Gaza

Israel’s Cabinet votes to approve a hostage release deal with Hamas that would see at least 50 women and children freed, in exchange for a four-day truce in the IDF air and ground campaign in Gaza. A family member of multiple hostages joins to react to the deal, and ex-Iranan prisoner Jason Rezaian joins to discuss what release could look like for the hostages, and why he thinks "a lot of things could still go sideways”. Plus, a Georgia judge declines to jail a Trump election racketeering co-defendant over allegedly attempting to target witnesses using social media posts.
