  that the remaining Israeli hostages held by Hamas since October 7th would be released.

  President Trump spoke about peace and prosperity.

  I'm so happy to be writing to you.

  Randolph emailed us at theglobalstory at bbc. com with an idea.

  I was wondering whether it might be possible for you to make an episode

  about the current situation in Gaza and what lights ahead.

  It seems international attention has shifted away from Gaza.

  That 's why I would really appreciate an episode exploring the current situation there,

• 01:36

  the daily lives of civilians, and the latest development regarding the second phase of the ceasefire.
