Behind the hostage deal

If the hostage deal between Israel and Hamas all goes according to plan, at least 50 hostages held by Hamas will be released in exchange for some 150 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, and there will be a four-day pause in the fighting. But both sides are clear: This is not a ceasefire, and once the pause is over, the fighting continues. Gershon Baskin, a veteran hostage negotiator who played a prominent role in the release of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in 2011, joins the show from Jerusalem. Also on today's show: Luis Moreno Ocampo, Former Prosecutor, International Criminal Court / Deputy Prosecutor, Argentina's Trial of the Juntas; director Roger Ross Williams; musician Yusuf/Cat Stevens (from the archives) Learn more about your ad choices.
