Israeli Government Reaches Hostage Deal With Hamas

50 women and children are expected to be released by Hamas in exchange for 150 Palestinian prisoners held by the IDF. Ana Kasparian discusses on The Young Turks.

"Some Biden administration officials quietly say the hostage exchange agreement is the clearest signal yet its strategy toward the Israel-Hamas war is working.

Under the breakthrough deal, 50 women and children will be released by Hamas in exchange for 150 Palestinian prisoners, women and teenagers held by Israelis. A four- to five-day pause would allow them a safer transfer and ease the delivery of life-saving aid to suffering Palestinians in Gaza. Amid so much wreckage and chaos, the hostage deal — which was finalized late Tuesday — might prove a rare bright spot in a dark time."
