Hostages are at the heart of the fragile cease-fire between
Israel and Hamas, now in its fifth day. As of Monday night, 50
Israeli hostages had been released, as had 150 Palestinian
prisoners. More releases were expected on Tuesday, under what
Qatari mediators said was a deal to extend the cease-fire by two
days.

Isabel Kershner, a Jerusalem-based reporter for The New York
Times, explains how a grass-roots movement managed to pause the
war, and what it will mean for the rest of the conflict.

Guest: Isabel Kershner, who covers Israeli and Palestinian
politics and society for The New York Times.

Background reading:

The extension of the cease-fire, and another exchange of
hostages and prisoners, raised hopes that more people would be
set free and more humanitarian aid would reach people in the Gaza
Strip.

Here are the latest updates from Israel and Gaza.
