  • The Economist.

  • Hello and welcome to the Intelligence from the Economist.

  • I'm your host, Rosie Blore.

  • Every weekday we provide a fresh perspective on the events shaping your world.

  • Donald Trump's pick for Tulsi Gabbard to be his Director of National Intelligence was already controversial.

  • Now our correspondent has uncovered some new information about her earlier dealings with the Assad regime in Syria.

  • And have you noticed that many people are walking around with lurid green drinks?

  • We look at how Matcha became the flavour of choice and why Gen Z might be a little deluded about the health benefits of their favourite brew.

  • But first.

  • After 15 months of fighting, a ceasefire has been agreed between Israel and Hamas.

  • Last night, President Biden said a deal.

  • Had been reached more than 15 months of conflict that began with Hezbollah's brutal massacre on October 7.

  • Fighting in Gaza will stop and soon the hostages will return home to their families.

  • As news spread, so did celebrations in Gaza.

  • But those cries of joy and relief may have been premature.

  • A ceasefire hasn't come into effect yet and bombing has continued in Gaza.

  • The deal also needs approval from the Israeli Parliament, and this morning, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu postponed a cabinet meeting to discuss it.

  • Despite those caveats, this is the best news to come out of the region in a long while.

  • Though the war isn't over, peace is starting to look possible.
