Hi, everyone. This is Bob McMahon. The world next week may have ended, but there are many other ways to get foreign policy and global news analysis from CFR.

For the next few weeks, I'll be highlighting some favorite CFR resources and podcasts in our feed, and I hope that you follow and subscribe.

My next recommendation is for the CFR podcast, The President's Inbox. Every week, my former co-host, Jim Lindsay, goes beyond the headlines

and speaks with leading experts about how the United States should respond to global challenges

shaping the future. Subscribe and receive a new episode in your podcast feed every Tuesday.

And here's an episode for you to check out now.

Welcome to the President's inbox.

I'm Jim Lindsay, the Mary and David Boyes distinguished senior fellow in U.S. foreign policy

at the Council on Foreign Relations.

This week's topic is The Gaza Ceasefire.

Thank you. This week's topic is the Gaza ceasefire. With me to discuss how the Israel Hamas ceasefire in Gaza came together and its prospects for holding is Stephen Cook.

Stephen is the E&I Enrico Matai Senior Fellow for Middle East and Africa

Studies here at the Council on Foreign Relations. He has written four books on Middle East

politics, the latest being, the end of ambition, America's past, present, and future in the Middle

East. He recently wrote an expert brief for CFR.org titled Israel and Hamas

reached ceasefire, but will the war end? In an article for foreign policy titled, Israelis and
