Q&A: For Fox News’ Trey Yingst, covering the Middle East ceasefire is only the beginning
It was interesting to see how news organizations categorized what happened Monday in the Middle East. Most certainly, it was an optimistic and historic day as Hamas released the last 20 hostages to survive two years of captivity in Gaza, while Israel released nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.
In a speech to the Israeli parliament, President Donald Trump called it “the historic dawn of a new Middle East.”
But questions remain. Is peace finally within reach? Or was Monday just the first step in what still could be a long journey to a sustained peace?
