Three hostages have been safely returned to Israel, with more to be returned each week. But while Israelis share the relief of this long-awaited moment, Hamas is emerging from the shadows with victory cheers and a deep ambivalence over the ceasefire deal is brewing in Israel. Who has won this war, and can Israelis come to terms with the price they must pay to bring all the hostages home?

In this episode, Donniel Hartman and Yossi Klein Halevi discuss the divide in Israeli opinion,

the country’s unmet military goals, and whether a return to war could be on the horizon.
