Understand the details of the ceasefire agreement and why so much remains.
A long-awaited ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas brings an end to the genocidal war that has lasted more than 15 months in the occupied Gaza Strip. The timing, on the eve of President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, also raises uncomfortable questions about the Biden administration’s role in the peace talks so far.
Diana Butu, a Palestinian human rights lawyer and former peace negotiator, will also join to discuss the meaning of the agreement and the prospects for a lasting ceasefire.
Elon Musk’s unstoppable misinformation machine
The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, is fanning the flames of misinformation as the most destructive wildfires in Los Angeles history ravage Los Angeles. The owners of social media platform X inserted themselves into this article and used it as a weapon against California’s Democratic leadership, distorting the facts to attack the state’s progressive policies.
