A Fragile Peace; Inside Trump’s Secretive War at Sea

from Here's the Scoop · host Yasmin Voussoughian, Aaron David Miller, Matt Bradley, Courtney Kube

The Trump administration is growing uneasy over the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Israel accused Hamas of breaking the U.S.-brokered deal and threatened to withhold aid. Hamas was supposed to return the remains of 28 hostages, but it has only handed over eight, one of which Israel says doesn’t match any known hostage. Hamas blames the destruction in Gaza for the delay. Can both sides keep the peace from falling apart? NBC News foreign correspondent Matt Bradley and Aaron David Miller, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, join host Yasmin Vossoughian. Also, President Donald Trump says U.S. forces have struck another vessel off the coast of Venezuela, part of a growing campaign targeting alleged drug smugglers in the Caribbean. It’s the fifth strike since September, leaving at least 27 people dead. But members of Congress are raising questions about the legality and secrecy of the operation. Officials told NBC News they’ve gotten few answers. NBC News correspondent Courtney Kube, who covers security and the military, is here to break it down.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
