Description

All 20 remaining living hostages kidnapped on October 7, 2023 have now returned to Israel. 250 Palestinian prisoners and 1700 detainees are also freed today. After two years of war, a historic peace process is unfolding in the Middle East. We speak with CBC’s senior international correspondent Margaret Evans in Jerusalem, Amir Tibon, journalist for the Israeli newspaper, Ha'aretz and the author of  "The Gates of Gaza: A Story of Betrayal and Hope in Israel's Borderlands,” and Omar Omar, the founder of the Gazan Canadian Families League who has been trying to get his family out of Gaza and bring them to Canada about what’s next as part of the U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace deal — and will this lead to lasting peace in the Middle East?
