The Israel-Hamas hostage deal

“The Quad,” Ep. 5

As the Israel/Hamas hostage agreement is put into action and the ceasefire takes hold, the Quad asks: Is this a good deal for Israel?

They speak with Renana Gome Yaacov, whose two sons were kidnapped, and discuss why and how the hostage deal is happening now.

Also, Emily Schrader talks about her experiences reporting from Gaza. And, of course, they announce the Scumbag and Heroes of the Week.
