Hello everyone and welcome to Amman Poor. Here's what's coming up. Finally a breakthrough.

Israel and Hamas agree on a four-day truce to exchange Israeli hostages for Palestinian

prisoners. Veteran negotiator Gershanshanskin joins me next. Fairness and

justice in war. I speak to founding International Criminal Court prosecutor Luis

Moreno Ocampo and I get his take on Argentina's controversial president-elect.

Then stamped from the beginning. Michelle Martin asked director Roger Ross Williams about his new documentary exploring the roots of racism in America.

And finally, the Music and Life Lessons of the legendary use of Cat Stevens. Welcome to the program everyone. I'm Bianna Goladriga in New York sitting in for Christian

Ammanpur. Well now that both Israel and Hamas signed off on a hostage deal we are

learning more about the details. An Israeli official tells us the fighting is set to pause beginning 10 a.m.

local time, 3 in the morning, New York time Thursday.

Now if all goes according to plan at least 50 hostages held by Hamas will be

released in exchange for some 150 Palestinian

prisoners currently in Israeli jails. Much-needed humanitarian relief will

come to Gaza. The pause could potentially last longer with an extra day added for each

additional 10 Israeli captives released. The hostages families face an

excruciating week not knowing whether their loved ones will be among those released.

Here's Abion, who has three family members held by Hamas.

This is what you think about if your eyes close at night and when you wake up in the morning.

And it's all consuming.

It is something that we are not processing.

We're just living through until every one of these hostages are home and our soldiers are safe.

For displaced Palestinian civilians in Gaza, the pause can't come soon enough.
