Episode notes
Ceasefire Is Only Phase One
- The US-brokered phase one focuses on hostage release, prisoner swaps, and Israeli withdrawal while leaving many core issues unresolved.
- Mediators (Egypt, Qatar) and momentum for phase two will determine if ceasefire becomes durable.
What To Watch After Hostage Releases
- Key follow-ups include allowing aid in, negotiating Hamas disarmament, and establishing an international stabilization force.
- Visibility into those talks and which actors stay engaged will make or break long-term outcomes.

- The government shutdown sparked shouting matches and political theater, with members staging scenes to fundraise or pressure leadership.
- Absent back-channel talks and leadership coordination, dealmaking stalls and public displays intensify.
