MYRNA BROWN, HOST: Coming up next on The World and Everything in It, the ceasefire in Israel. On Sunday, three people held by Hamas for 469 days reunited with their families. The three women are the first of 33 hostages to be released over the next six weeks. In exchange, Israel is releasing almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, and has agreed to stop trying to decimate Hamas, at least for now.

Wednesday brought the announcement of a ceasefire in Israel’s war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Negotiations over the past several months between Israeli and Hamas representatives, midwifed by Qatar and brokered by the United States, finally seem to have produced a deal. As of this writing, the ceasefire is uncertain in that the Israeli Cabinet still needs to ratify it. It is tentative in that it will not take effect until Sunday.

One of the Middle East’s most vicious tyrants has fallen from power. Syria’s Bashar al-Assad, responsible for the deaths of some 500,000 of his own people over the past 13 years, has fled with his family to Russia in disgrace and defeat. Syria now appears like it will be ruled by a menagerie of rebel groups led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). The Middle East never ceases to surprise, and few if anyone saw this coming.

Today marks the first anniversary of the Hamas surprise attack on Israel and the deadly massacre of the largest number of Jewish civilians in a single day since the Holocaust. The mere mention of the date “Oct. 7” has taken on a grim meaning of its own after the manner of other catastrophic surprise attacks, such as how “Sept. 11” recalls the worst terrorist attack in American history in 2001 and “Dec. 7” still stands for the infamy of Imperial Japan’s assault on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
