FLN Special Feature: An EMS leader in Israel, on waiting for a Saturday hostage-release deadline

The Middle East awaits a Saturday hostage deadline A special Newsmaker Interview from Family Life News - 2/13/25 A Saturday (February 15) deadline looms, as American President Donald Trump promises consequences if Hamas fails to expedite the release of hostages held in Gaza for more than 16 months. Various reports have indicated that a weeks-long cease fire between Israel and Hamas is at risk. Family Life News got first-person reaction from Israel Wednesday night. Aryeh Myers is a coordinator for Magen David Adom, the national Emergency Services system for the nation of Israel.  In this interview with Family Life's Greg Gillispie, Myers talks about public sentiment among Israelis, as some hostages are now home, some are still unaccounted for, and the potential for new attacks swirls around them. You also will hear about first-responders' actions which saved many lives among the carnage of October 7, 2023, and how the Emergency Services have mobilized tens of thousands of volunteers to be ready, if new attacks happen, this weekend or anytime.
