This Is Not A Drill with Gavin Esler16 Jan 2025

The Israel/Hamas Ceasefire – Can it hold?

After 15 months of horror, a ceasefire and hostage release deal triggers rejoicing in Israel and Palestine. But the deal is ambiguous and built around only a gradual release of Palestinian prisoners and Israeli hostages, with no agreement to end the war yet. While Trump rushes to claim credit, some fear the deal is so loose it might collapse. Could this conflict reignite? Gavin Esler talks to Middle East expert Dr H.A. Hellyer of RUSI, the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security, about Israel and Gaza’s fragile moment of hope. • From next week TINAD will be coming out every Thursday instead of Wednesdays, to give us more time to react to developing news stories.
