Today marks the 50th day of hostilities in the latest conflict between Israel and Hamas. At just after 10:00 AM ET, news broke that the two sides
have agreed to a long-term truce. Over the past seven weeks, it seems there has been no shortage of false hope and broken ceasefires. The question beckons, is this agreement for real and will it hold?

Ambassador Martin S. Indyk, Vice President and Director of the Foreign Policy Program at the Brookings Institution, former U.S. Special Envoy for Israeli-Palestinian Negotiations, and former U.S. Ambassador to Israel, for an off-the-record 1918 Society Conference Call tomorow at 2:30 PM ET.
