Israel, Hamas reach deal that could end 15 months of war

Season 2025 Episode 15 | 5m 10s

The deal was mediated by the United States, Egypt and Qatar and will begin this weekend. The Biden Administration had spent many months trying to force the parties toward a deal, but a final push from the incoming Trump team helped get to this agreement. Nick Schifrin reports.
