Episode Details

There’s a sense of scepticism around a new Israel-Lebanon ceasefire.  

Donald Trump's declaring victory after announcing the two countries and militant group Hezbollah will pause fighting for ten days.  

But Israel's refusing to move its thousands of troops out of southern Lebanon.
