Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:

Closing Arguments and Hamas’ Leader Killed:

And, what the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar means for the war in Gaza.

  • Peter Baker, Chief White House Correspondent, The New York Times
  • Francesca Chambers, White House Correspondent, USA Today
  • Susan Glasser, Staff Writer, The New Yorker
