Gaza truce extended by two days

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

A fourth group of hostages held in Gaza has been released - and Israel and Hamas have agreed to extend their truce by a further two days. We hear from the family of two hostages yet to be released. And we discuss the longer-term prospects for peace with a former Israeli prime minister. Also on the programme: Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has cancelled a meeting with his Greek counterpart in a diplomatic row over the Parthenon Sculptures, also known as the Elgin Marbles. And the family-run pub whose Christmas advert is giving John Lewis a run for its money.
