Many of the images that have been seen from Israel’s war in Gaza have already been seen for the last time. With Gaza under siege from the Israeli military and tech companies censoring and taking down material, the responsibility falls on the people of Gaza to document and archive their own evidence of war crimes and genocide. How will it survive? This is a story from the archives. This originally aired on April 11, 2025. None of the dates, titles or other references from that time have been changed.

Day 1,435.Today, as President Zelensky warns that Russia is preparing “a new massive strike”, we examine growing speculation that an undeclared truce may be in place regarding strikes on energy infrastructure. We then turn to the Russian press, where a local war memorial in the Urals appears to have inadvertently revealed the true scale of Russian casualties, and an unlikely scandal involving a baker that has caused fresh embarrassment for Vladimir Putin.

The remains of the final Israeli captive have been returned from Gaza. For months, the Israeli government has cited the remaining bodies of captives as a reason for limiting crossings, delaying aid deliveries and slowing the implementation of the agreed ceasefire. With this justification now gone, what will change for Palestinians in Gaza?

Two years after Hamas invaded Israel, a ceasefire agreement brokered by the United States brought the conflict one step closer to resolution. That October 10th agreement created to conditions for the return of remaining Israeli hostages and the bodies of deceased captives in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. It also opened up channels for the delivery of humanitarian aid at levels that had not been seen since the October 7, 2023, invasion.rnrnThe 20-point peace plan is complex and fragile. Hostilities continue to break out episodically, and though aid has scaled up, many Gazans continue to face chronic food insecurity. Hamas has not disarmed, and Israel continues to remain in a wartime posture. Despite uncertainty, progress toward a lasting peace remains the stated goal of the warring parties.rnrnBoth Michael Koplow and Ahmed Alkhatib know this conflict intimately.rnrnBorn in Saudi Arabia to Palestinian parents, Ahmed Alkhatib is a writer and the head of Realign for Palestine. a project of the Atlantic Council, Realign advocates for Palestinian statehood and self-determination.rnrnMichael Koplow is Chief Policy Officer at the Israel Policy Forum. His writing frequently appears in the Atlantic, Foreign Affairs, and Foreign Policy, among many other publications.rnModerated by Cleveland Council on World Affairs' CEO Marti Flacks.

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on the announcement of a ceasefire in Syria.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Despite an easing of rhetoric, the United States tightens its military posture toward Iran, moving a carrier strike group into the Middle East. While rhetoric between Washington and Tehran appears to cool, the deployment signals that military pressure—and U.S. options—remain firmly in place. Later in the show—the Gaza ceasefire enters Phase Two…at least on paper. President Donald Trump backs a new transitional governing plan for Gaza, but serious doubts remain over whether Hamas would ever agree to disarm.

Invitations have been sent to participate in the international "Board of Peace" that is meant to govern Gaza temporarily as part of U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to end the war in the Palestinian enclave, U.S. officials said. The move came after Washington on Wednesday said it was launching the second phase of Trump's Gaza ceasefire plan even as key elements of the first phase remain unfulfilled.
