On Monday's Backchat, we looked at the latest development in the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Last Thursday, Israel and Hamas agreed on the first phase of US President Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan. Hamas would release all 20 living hostages in exchange for 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. Israeli troops also began pulling back from some parts of Gaza last Friday.
We talked to experts on what comes next in the ceasefire deal, and whether Palestinians in Gaza will see long-term peace soon.
And after the break, we learnt more about the new art walk in the Southern District that'll be launched by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council.
The event's curator told us how they would tell the story of the area's history through interactive artworks.
