Israeli Military Rescues 52 Year Old Hamas Hostage | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

In what is being called "a complex operation," the Israeli military says it has rescued one of the hostages being held by Hamas. Overjoyed family members raced to the hospital to see their newly freed loved one. The 52 year old man is said to be in good condition and even received a phone call from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Dozens of Israeli hostages remain in captivity despite international pressure. Negotiations for a cease fire between Israel and Hamas which would include the release of hostages are set to resume soon. Senior Fellow for the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies and an expert on Hezbollah and Lebanon, David Daoud, joins to share what more we know about the military mission to free the hostages. Doctors say the 52 year old man will undergo a couple more days of tests, but appears generally to be in good condition. Daoud tells us whether that surprised him. He explains how many hostages remain in captivity and whether he is optimistic that high level diplomatic talks are starting again soon. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
