Will the Gaza ceasefire hold?

Israel and Hamas have approved Trump’s plan for a Gaza ceasefire – but will it last?

Israel and Hamas have approved President Trump’s plan for a ceasefire and approved a framework including the release of all the hostages and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from parts of Gaza. It is being described as the first phase of a wider agreement, but is the deal secure enough to last?

We speak to Liran Berman, whose brothers Gali and Ziv are amongst the last hostages, Laila Ezzat Al Shana, a mother in Gaza, and the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s state department correspondent, Tom Bateman.
