24 hostages freed – what next?
As the first hostages arrive in Israel, and 39 Palestinian detainees are released by the Israelis, Newsnight hears from a man who has heard that three of his relatives are among them – but his uncle is still being held. And as the pause in fighting allows more aid trucks to enter Gaza, we hear from a UNICEF official who says he has seen more children with wounds of war than any other day in his career.\n\nAlso, tensions emerge after an Abu Dhabi-backed fund puts in a bid to buy The Telegraph, and after the Autumn Statement and the immigration figures, our panel looks back over a busy week in politics. With Faisal Islam.
