After two years of war, Israel and Hamas have finally reached a ceasefire agreement. The deal includes the release of hostages in the coming days and a pause in fighting—but key details remain unclear. We’ll break down what’s in the agreement, what’s not, and why it matters.
Later in the show—Russia’s economy is starting to show serious cracks. Major industries are cutting hours, furloughing workers, and struggling to stay afloat under sanctions and war costs. We’ll look at what these “anti-crisis” moves say about the Kremlin’s ability to keep its war machine running.

A leaked document from inside Russia’s own Defense Ministry reveals staggering battlefield losses in Ukraine and raises new questions about Moscow’s ability to sustain the war.

Israel’s Shin Bet says it has foiled an Iranian weapons smuggling plot into the West Bank—the latest sign of Tehran’s continued efforts to arm and fund anti-Israel militants.
