Summary

Two years after October 7th, a rare moment of hope and jubilation for war-ravaged Gaza and for Israelis awaiting the return of their loved ones, after Donald Trump announced the Israel-Hamas deal had been reached. Christiane speaks with three Middle East mediators, Oliver Mcternan of Forward Thinking, Israel's Yossi Beilin who served as the country's justice minister, and Hussein Agha who has a long history in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, about the intricacies of the deal and whether it will lead to a lasting peace. Then, Christiane speaks with Israeli journalist Nir Hasson about why he thinks Israel's brutal response to the October 7th massacre "destroyed the foundations on which the State of Israel was founded." Plus, CNN's Gustavo Valdes reports on the administration's deportation of Emmy-award winning journalist, Mario Guevara, who was arrested by ICE in June after live-streaming coverage of a "No Kings" protest. Also on the show, former Israeli hostage Nili Margalit recounts her horrendous experience in the tunnels of Gaza during Hamas captivity. Christiane also speaks with Al Jazeera's Gaza bureau chief, Wael al-Dahdouh who became the face of what journalists like himself have had to endure covering the carnage in Gaza. And as the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded this week, from her archives, Christiane revisits the story of Shirin Ebadi, the first Muslim woman and Iranian to win, and the extraordinary courage behind her fight for human rights.
