In this episode, Yaakov Lappin and I begin by pondering whether or not election season is underway in Israel.
We then turn to Bibi's recent visit to the Gaza Strip, flanked by his new Defense Minister Israel Katz, and reflect on his declarations that Hamas will never again rule the Strip and his offer of $5 million to anyone who returns a hostage to Israel.
We round out the discussion by analyzing the implications of the mooted cease-fire deal that Special Envoy Amos Hochstein has been working to thrash out in Lebanon and seems poised to present to Israel's leadership for their response. Finally, a reminder that you can still purchase your tickets to the Annual MirYam Institute Regional Briefing featuring, taking place in Manhattan on Tuesday, December 10th. It features a world-class line up of speakers including "Son Of Hamas & Green Prince" Mosab Hassan Yousef, NYT Columnist Brett Stephens, rescued hostage Almog Meir-Jan and IDF combat veteran and hero, Boris Shtonda.
Tickets can be purchased NOW right here.
