🎧 | @mahamyahya discusses the recent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and how to build sustainable peace in the Middle East with @RymMomtaz and Pierre Vimont. Listen now:

🚨Israel gave the U.S. new intelligence that shows Hamas has access to more of the bodies than it claims 🚨"We don't see Hamas making maximum effort regarding the bodies. We know they can do more & we don't think anybody should give them any discounts," aמ Israeli official said
