Israeli hostages freed after 2 years of brutal war

Season 2025 Episode 286 | 8m 36s

After two years of brutal war, 20 Israeli hostages and nearly 2,000 Palestinian detainees and prisoners were swapped as the American-led ceasefire in Gaza held. It was a day of hope and relief for many, tinged with apprehension of what lies ahead. President Trump received a hero's welcome in Israel and later led a peace conference in Egypt. Special correspondent Leila Molana-Allen reports.
