The Challenges in Rescuing Hostages in Palestine | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Israel's military is actively searching for hostages. An IDF spokesman announced troops conducted "localized raids" into Gaza today killing a number of terrorists and looking for anything that could lead them to the missing Israelis. One man knows first hand how difficult these operations can be. President and founder of One Free World, Majed el-Shafie, was heavily involved in getting people out of Afghanistan a couple years ago. He tells us what is involved in trying to evacuate people trapped in Israel right now. The hostage and humanitarian situation in Palestine presents a much different situation. El-Shafie explains the specific challenges rescue organizations face there. Rescuing people is one thing but relocating and resettling is another. El-Shafie discusses what goes into finding safe havens for refugees, hostages and displaced peoples. Having been forced to flee his native Egypt because of his Christian beliefs, el-Shafie shares whether he is hearing any specific or general threats to the Christian community in the region and what's being done to safeguard them. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
