Episode notes
Ceasefire Likely To Hold Initially
- The new ceasefire deal has strong international backing and higher odds of initially holding.
- But complex political steps after hostages are released could unravel long-term peace without clear governance plans.

- Multiple actions must occur simultaneously: Israeli pullback, hostage releases, and massive aid deliveries.
- The overlap makes the coming days intensely fragile and operationally complicated.

- That gap creates a major risk of confrontation and governance vacuum in Gaza.
