About this sermon
While he is in the Middle East, Secretary of State Antony Blinken will try to secure the freedom of hostages kidnapped by Hamas. As many as 150 people were abducted during last weekend's attack on Israel, including an unknown number of Americans. Former CIA officer with extensive counterterrorism and counterintelligence field experience, Joseph Assad, joins to explain what would be involved in rescuing these hostages. Assad shares whether the US can run a rescue operation without boots on the ground. Places such as NYC are increasing security efforts amid the rising tensions over the war in the Middle East. The NYPD has ordered all officers to report in uniform starting tomorrow. This coincides with a call from a former leader of Hamas urging Muslims to rise up in anger and protests to show support for Palestinians tomorrow. Assad tells us how concerned the US should be about threats from radicals. CNN is reporting the US has collected specific intelligence that senior Iranian leaders were caught off guard by Hamas' attack on Israel. Assad fills us in on whether he thinks Tehran was directly involved. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
