Israel Hamas war: will Trump’s Gaza ceasefire deal last?

Israel and Hamas have finally reached a ceasefire deal over the war in Gaza days before Donald Trump takes over from Joe Biden as the next US president – but Benjamin Netanyahu’s government hasn’t signed it yet – and while Palestinians in Gaza are celebrating, there’s still a chance it could be derailed.

Yet, if the deal holds, it will be a historic moment, but why has it taken so long and what’s next for the people of Gaza and Israel?

In this episode of the Fourcast, Matt Frei is joined by Channel 4 News International Editor Lindsey Hilsum and Foreign Correspondent Secunder Kermani to discuss all the unanswered questions.
