This week on Face the Nation, hours before America begins its handover of presidential power, we begin with breaking news as the first phase of the Gaza cease-fire deal commences with the return of three Israeli hostages and a Palestinian prisoner swap. Is the cease-fire deal the beginning of a new way forward for peace in the Middle East? We'll talk with a key Biden negotiator of the truce, Brett McGurk. Incoming national security advisor Rep. Mike Waltz weighs in on the immediate national security challenges the new administration faces, including the future of TikTok in the U.S. Then, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and Democrat Tim Kaine weigh in on Trump’s cabinet picks following the first week of confirmation hearings. Finally, we explore the humanitarian crisis facing the youngest victims of the war in Gaza with Save the Children’s Janti Soeripto. All this just ahead on Face the Nation.
