Summary

One of the most divisive foreign policy issues as of late has been the Israel-Hamas war, but now that both sides have agreed to follow President Trump’s peace proposal, that might finally be about to change. Congressmen Tim Burchett (R-TN) and Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) join to share their hopes and concerns surrounding the newly minted peace agreement, from the release of hostages on both sides to the potential of US troops being sent to assist with mediating the process. Later, they also discuss where they stand on the ongoing government shutdown as it stretches into week two. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
