No One Left Behind 🪂 🤸 Hostage Release Thoughts & Celebrations

This morning saw the start of the highly anticipated Gaza hostage release, wherein Hamas terrorists handed the last 20 living Israeli hostages over to Israel. This is the moment that the entire Jewish State has been holding its breath for. It feels like a miracle, but there are still 28 murdered hostages yet to be released. Four will come home today, instead of 28, as agreed upon in President Donald J. Trump's 20-Point Peace Plan. Once again, the joyous holiday of Simchat Torah is marred with a devastating sadness. Israel and the Jewish People cannot rest, cannot breathe again, until all 48 hostages are home.In this live conversation, military expert Andrew Fox and A Paratrooper And A Yogi Walk Into A Bar cohost, Shana Meyerson, discuss this morning's hostage release and the possiibility of real peace.Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and cohost of The Brink Podcast.
