'I want my baby back. I want my son back': Reflecting on a week of hostage releases


Listen Later

As the ceasefire ends, we reflect on the hostage releases - and those left behind.

In this episode of Battle Lines, Middle East Correspondent Natalia Vasilyeva and Senior Reporter Henry Bodkin join us from on the ground in Israel, where they reflect on a week of hostage releases, and consider what the West Bank settlement of the Israeli finance minister can tell us about Gaza's future.

Plus we hear from Orit Meir, whose son Almog is a hostage of Hamas, as she makes a heartfelt plea to get him back.
