With Israel’s release of prisoners, thousands more still detained

There will be no bombs or drones over Gaza for another two days. Israel and Hamas have largely followed the terms of their ceasefire deal since it came into effect on Friday morning, including prisoner exchanges and the entry of humanitarian aid. But a return to violence and the end of talks remain a constant threat.

After Israel and Hamas extend their truce, what comes next?

Ukraine’s female soldiers say they’re battling multiple enemies: Russia, sexism, and ill-fitting uniforms and protective gear. Attitudes towards women serving in the military in Ukraine are changing. Still, many wonder if progress is happening fast enough and if this progress will endure after the war with Russia is over.
