Israeli Soldier Reacts to Hostage Trade with Hamas | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Israeli Army Reservist Raz Shmilovich joins to share his reaction to the hostage release. Raz discusses how his friends and family are doing and what the mood is in Israel. He explains whether he feels exchanging 117 Palestinian prisoners for 58 hostages was the right move by the Israeli government. Raz tells us what the optics of the hostage handover were about. A spokesman for Qatar's foreign ministry said an agreement has been reached to extend the Israel-Hamas truce for another 2 days. Raz said truce extensions take the power away from Israel and fills us in on why. He was called up from the reserves to patrol after the October 7th attack. Raz talks about what that has been like. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
