ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ OS

Available for 11 days

The Israeli cabinet is preparing to ratify the Gaza ceasefire which would see the release of hostages and the partial withdrawal of Israeli troops. The US-backed deal - signed earlier in Egypt - will see all remaining hostages and 2,000 Palestinian prisoners freed. We speak to families of Israeli hostages and hear from people in Gaza. We also get the latest from our correspondents in Jerusalem and Washington. Presenter: Rahul Tandon.
