Summary

Sources tell CNN that the group of negotiators working toward a deal that would include a days-long pause in fighting in Gaza exchange for a large group of Hamas hostages being freed. A senior U.S. official who is familiar with the talks warned the negotiations could stall at any point and that “it’s been close before...there’s no certainty at all.” CNN Correspondent Ed Lavandera joins AC360 from Tel Aviv, Israel to tell the story of a woman who is willing to do “whatever it takes” to get her sister out of Hamas’ possession. Plus, FBI agents seized New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ cell phones and iPad as part of their federal investigation into campaign fundraising. CNN Crime and Justice Correspondent Shimon Prokupecz tells Anderson Cooper how the FBI executed their search warrant and what they could possibly be looking for on Mayor Adams’ devices.
