In this episode of Israel: State of a Nation, former Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy speaks with Lishay Lavi, whose husband, Omri Miran, remains a hostage in Gaza. While Phase 1 of the hostage deal has brought some captives home, Phase 2 remains uncertain—leaving families like Lishay’s in limbo. As international pressure mounts, former US President Donald Trump has weighed in on the situation, calling for stronger action to bring the remaining hostages home.

This conversation examines:
🔹 The status of Phase 2 and what’s holding up negotiations
🔹 Why international pressure remains critical at this stage
🔹 How hostage families are advocating for continued action
🔹 The long-term implications of the ongoing crisis

As negotiations hang in the balance, this episode provides key insights into the complexities of the hostage situation and what must happen next.
