Could Israel & Hamas agree a ceasefire?

Plus, Rachel Reeves says the government is “gaslighting” Britain on economy

Today we look at the potential ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.

On Monday, Hamas agreed to terms put forward by Egyptian and Qatari mediators, but Israel has rejected them, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying they are far from meeting Israel’s “core demands”.

Meanwhile, the Israel Defence Force has taken control of the Gaza side of the Rafah crossing, a vital entry point for aid.
