Episode description

At least 77 Palestinians were killed in intense bombardment since the ceasefire deal was announced, Gaza's Civil Defense says. And in Israel, far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich threatened to quit over the terms of the second phase of the agreement, a move that could threaten to collapse the Netanyahu government. The Biden administration "fully expects" the hostage deal to be implemented Sunday, while Hamas said it is "committed to the truce."

Also on today's show: former hostage negotiator Gershon Baskin; Altadena, California resident Kevin Williams
