Hello, Pablo Torre here,
host of the show Pablo Torre Finds Out from the athletic of the New York Times,
where we use journalism to investigate mysteries.
Like whether the richest owner in sports helped fund a no-show job for his NBA superstar,
or the origin of a secret document that the NFL does not want you to see.
Basically, we're a sports podcast that's fun, but also breaks big stories.
So follow us down the rabbit hole three times a week.
On Pablo Tore finds out.
From The New York Times, I'm Rachel Abrams, and this is The Daily.
Over the past few days, the world has seen dramatic scenes unfold from Israel and Gaza.
In Gaza, thousands of Palestinians are returning to their homes and their neighborhoods,
and they're seeing firsthand the devastation that two years of war has brought.
As international journalists continue to wait for access to the strip,
we've also been watching Israel as the country prepares for the return of the remaining hostages taken in the October 7th attack.
Today,
I talk with families of hostages and other Israelis and what's become known as Hostage Square in Tel Aviv,
about this long anticipated moment,
and also with my colleague Isabel Kirschner,
about why the hostages have been so pivotal in the efforts to end the war.
It's Monday, October 13th.
