Episode notes
Public Anger At Hostage Deadline
- Tens of thousands gathered in Tel Aviv's Hostages Square awaiting Hamas to hand over hostages to the Red Cross by Monday noon.
- The crowd's jeers at Netanyahu signal deep frustration with his handling of the conflict and hostage returns.
How The Exchange Is Expected To Unfold
- Hostages will be handed by Hamas to the Red Cross, which will transfer them to Israeli forces before prisoner exchanges occur.
- Releasing hostages early could weaken Hamas's leverage but will stage a major international ceasefire summit in Egypt.
Summit's Diplomatic Leverage
- International leaders co-chairing the ceasefire summit will publicly back the deal, increasing diplomatic pressure on Israel.
- That broader turnout may constrain Israel from resuming large-scale military action without international consequences.
