Friends,

Less than 24 hours after it was announced, the long-awaited, urgently
needed ceasefire/hostage deal has already slammed into the hard realities
of domestic and international politics.

Netanyahu has delayed a Cabinet vote on the deal, accusing Hamas of
reneging on key components (a spokesperson for the terror group says it
remains “committed” to the deal).

Meanwhile – as the war continues to kill dozens of civilians and hostage
families wait desperately for confirmation – Israeli media reports delays
are partly driven by threats from Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition
partners who oppose the deal and may bring down the government.

This is a painfully precarious moment. To better understand the
intricacies of the deal, how we can ensure it succeeds, and what to expect
under the incoming Trump Administration, we’re holding a rapid-response
briefing – today – and I wanted to be sure you had the chance to join us.

As Jeremy said yesterday, there is still much work to do to ensure the
horrors of October 7 and the ensuing war can never happen again.

“Extremists on both sides will seek to undermine this agreement. We cannot
allow them to succeed. We cannot go back,” he wrote. “The deal must
deliver: Each and every hostage must come home. The fighting must stop.
Rockets must cease. Forces must pull back. Aid must flood in.”

As we chart a course forward, I’m so grateful Celine and Ilan – both J
Street policy fellows – will be joining us to share their expertise.
