National Security Expert Robert Greenway on Hamas Ceasefire and Abraham Accords Expansion

Hamas Ceasefire and Hostage Situation

• 📌 Eleven bodies of hostages remain in Gaza, including two Americans, with families holding out hope for their return.
• 💥 The Israeli military resumed compliance with the ceasefire after air strikes on terrorist cells reportedly killed over 100 people, following Hamas's killing of an Israeli-American soldier.
