JNS senior contributing editor and “Israel Undiplomatic” co-host Ruthie Blum—a former adviser at the Prime Minister’s Office—joins JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin to discuss the first days of Donald Trump’s presidency and the complicated and not-so-perfect hostage deal between Hamas and Israel.

Will the Palestinian terror group remain in power and has Jerusalem lost the war as a result of the deal? Did Trump follow through on his word? Is he a true friend to Israel or will his isolationist policies be detrimental to the Jewish state? 

All this and more on this special post-inauguration episode of “Think Twice!”
