The Friday evening cast of PBS News Hour featuring moderator Geoff Bennett, MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart, and New York Times columnist David Brooks briefly broke character to heap praise on President Trump for his role in securing a ceasefire agreement that will see Israeli hostages return home. However, the trio quickly reverted back to form and freaked out that New York Attorney General Letitia James was recently indicted for mortgage fraud.

Capehart began the Gaza discussion by declaring, “Look, I'm going to say something that I have never said before and that this audience has never heard me say before. Kudos to the president. I think we are at this point because the president was single — he was focused, single-mindedly focused, on getting something, getting a deal done, getting the hostages out.”
At the same time, Capehart stressed there is still more work to be done, “The hard part comes after he leaves the region, after we get past phase one, assuming we get the 20 — that the Israeli hostages released, the 20 who are presumed alive, after the 2,000 Palestinians are released by Israel.”
