Podcasts about Ceasefire

The first phase of the U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire deal began to move forward this week as Israeli and Palestinian hostages have been released and aid trickles in. “The crossings were partially reopened, so some aid is coming in — food, water, and medicine — but only a small amount compared to the huge need,” says Intercept contributor Taqwa Ahmed Al-Wawi. “People are surviving, but every day it is still a struggle.”“There is a pause in the bombing, and I say 'a pause' because there are still people being killed,” says James Zogby, the president and co-founder of the Arab American Institute.This week on the Intercept Briefing, we hear from poet and writer Al-Wawi about what it's been like in Gaza over the first few days of the ceasefire. Then reporter and host Jonah Valdez speaks to Zogby who, along with a delegation of Palestinian Americans, are meeting with members of Congress to ensure the current ceasefire holds and to push for an arms embargo on Israel.“We were challenging members of Congress, not just on ending the weapons supplies to Israel because they've so abused them — in violation of U.S. and international law — but also to consider what are the needs of those who remain behind, the millions of Palestinians still in Gaza,” says Zogby. Valdez and Zogby dig into the details — or lack thereof — in Trump's plan, how Israel is already breaking the ceasefire agreement, takeaways from past efforts to broker peace through the decades, and how the American public can continue pushing lawmakers to achieve lasting peace, healing, and reconstruction that benefits Palestinians. “Nothing's going to happen on the Israeli side in terms of concessions, unless there's a threat of punishment coming from the U.S. or the international community,” says Zogby. “That's what happened during Oslo [Accords]: The U.S. let Israel get away with murder, and they just kept doing it. If Donald Trump lets them do the same thing — and I fully expect that he probably will — then I don't expect this to move toward completion.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.You can support our work at theintercept.com/join.

Hostage Situation and Political Realities in Gaza Ceasefire. Cliff May explains how the Gaza ceasefire focuses on the return of hostages, with 19 (including two Americans) still unaccounted for. Hamas is suspected of withholding hostages to retain bargaining power and resist relinquishing political control in phase two of the peace plan. Rhetoric about regional forces disarming Hamas is dismissed. May notes that in the Middle East, there are only permanent battles, viewing the current truce as a hudna, allowing jihadists to regroup and rearm. 1950 BEERSHEBA

The released prisoners, including potential Hamas leaders, raise concerns about where the organization's center of gravity will shift if they are deported to places like Turkey or Qatar. Schanzer views Turkey, an autocratic supporter of Hamas, as a problematic guarantor of the ceasefire. Internationally, Iran continues its nuclear program despite snapback sanctions, and al-Sharaa is meeting with Putin regarding Russian assets in Syria.

Last week, President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Hamas had reached a ceasefire deal. A series of momentous events followed the announcement: First, Israel halted its military assault on Gaza—widely considered by international legal experts to be a genocide. Then, 20 Israeli captives who had been held by Hamas for two years were returned to Israel, while Israeli authorities released around 2,000 Palestinians from prison, 1,700 of whom had been detained without charge or trial. The events led Trump to declare that the “war is over.” But Israeli troops are still stationed deep in Gaza, controlling over half of the enclave, and many questions remain about the future of Gaza.In this episode, senior reporter Alex Kane talks to Middle East experts Khaled Elgindy and Daniel Levy about the ceasefire. They discuss why Trump forced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to the ceasefire, why former President Biden failed to stop Israel's bombardment, whether Hamas will disarm, and how the deal impacts efforts to hold Israeli officials accountable for genocide.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for producing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Articles Mentioned and Further Reading“How Fury Over Israel's Qatar Attack Pushed Netanyahu on Gaza,” Mark Mazzetti, Adam Rasgon, Katie Rogers and Luke Broadwater, The New York Times“Read Trump's 20-point proposal to end the war in Gaza,” Associated Press“Why Hamas Agreed to Release the Hostages,” Isaac Chotiner, The New Yorker“Arab Mediators Believe Hamas Could Be Open to Partially Disarming,” Adam Rasgon and Ronen Bergman, The New York Times

Political analysts discuss the fragile ceasefire in the Middle East, the government shutdown and other major political stories impacting Iowans.

The ceasefire in Gaza that U.S. President Donald Trump helped broker has been in place since Friday. But already, both Israel and Hamas have accused each other of violating the agreement. Tensions flared over a slower-than-expected return of deceased hostages, and Hamas has, so far, refused to disarm and cede power in Gaza. Despite the disagreements, humanitarian aid trucks began entering Gaza on Wednesday, and Israel is set to open Gaza's Rafah border crossing with Egypt this week. But as cracks in this deal emerge, where does this ceasefire go from here?Today, Globe freelance journalist Hasan Jaber joins us from Gaza. He'll describe the mood in the region, as thousands of Palestinians return and Hamas fighters remerge. Then, The Globe's senior international correspondent Mark MacKinnon will discuss the state of this deal, and whether this ceasefire can hold.Questions? Comments? Ideas?

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports President Trump will speak with Vladimir Putin today.

We're all grateful to see precious hostages reunited with their families. But what did this ceasefire really buy—and what did it quietly spend? In this episode of Shoulder to Shoulder, Rabbi Pesach and Pastor Doug unpack the new Israel–Hamas agreement and President Trump's twenty-point plan. Pesach shares a decidedly pessimistic take on the trade-offs: deterrence, leverage, and what this deal signals for the next phase in Gaza. Doug presses on the moral calculus, strategic risks, and whether the plan's promises are achievable or dangerously vague. It's a sober conversation that celebrates life saved while asking hard questions about the price paid—security, justice, and the precedent set. If you want clarity beyond the headlines and a frank assessment of where this road could lead, don't miss this one.

Israeli hostages have been released and Palestinians prisoners freed, but is the Trump-brokered truce a turning point or just a timeout? This in-depth episode explores the deal, the delivery of aid, and the future of Gaza.

Two more bodies of deceased hostages have been handed over to the Red Cross by Hamas, following Israel's accusation that the militant group were failing to abide by the terms of the ceasefire deal. Aid is continuing to roll into Gaza despite threats from Israel that they would cut supplies and close border crossings. But there are heightened concerns for the fragile ceasefire, amid reports US President Donald Trump is considering allowing Israel to resume its military activities.

Hamas says more than 20 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the ceasefire came into effect at the start of this week. Alexander Cornwell, a senior correspondent for Reuters, spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss from Tel Aviv.

As a ceasefire takes hold in Gaza, attention has turned to how the story itself is being covered and interpreted. From live reporting in Tel Aviv to verifying information from inside Gaza, journalists describe the pressures of working amid uncertainty and political tension. Channel 4 News presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy reflects on the choices behind frontline coverage and the balance between speed and accuracy. Bel Trew, chief international correspondent at The Independent, outlines how she gathers and checks information when access to Gaza remains blocked.
