We're looking at the Israel-Hamas ceasefire through the lens of the families whose loved ones have been held hostage by Hamas since Oct. 7, 2023. Jonathan Dekel-Chen is the father of Israeli-American Sagui Dekel-Chen. He was kidnapped from the kibbutz Nir Oz trying to defend his family from the Hamas attack. Amna Nawaz spoke with Dekel-Chen about his son and the ceasefire deal.
