Truce Expires & Israeli Airstrikes on Gaza Resume | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Middle East Director of the International Communities Organization, a human rights advocacy group, Gershon Baskin, has been extensively involved with hostage negotiations between Hamas and Israel for 2 decades. The truce has now expired and Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have resumed. Baskin joins to tell us what this means for the remaining hostages. The New York Times had an incredible report that Israeli officials had a blueprint for the October 7th attacks a year ago. But officials have dismissed it. Baskin shares his reaction. Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas. Yet, they still need to negotiate with the terror group in order to get the hostages back. Baskin discusses how Israel bridges the gap on that. Some of the hostages released by Hamas have spoken out about their time in captivity. Some of the stories are about children being beaten, not knowing if their families were alive or dead, being threatened with a gun to keep quiet. Baskin explains what kind of help is given to them when they return. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
