As the Israel-Hamas war approaches 50 days, we are speaking with voices from both sides of the war to gain insight into the realities on the ground. 

In this episode, Mosheh speaks with Khalil Sayegh. He was born and raised in Gaza, then lived in the West Bank, and is now in the US, where he recently got his master's degree from American University. His family is currently seeking refuge in a church in northern Gaza.

Sayegh speaks candidly about the war, growing up as a Christian in Gaza, life under Hamas, why they are an obstacle for peace and the daily realities for Palestinians. At the same time, he talks about what he learned when he met Israelis for the first time, the empathy he gained, but also how he believes Israeli government policies have strengthened Hamas and worsened the conflict. 

He recently founded a grassroots organization, the Agora Initiative, partnering with an Israeli to focus on long-term solutions to the conflict.

For more information about the Agora Initiative, follow Khalil on X.

It has been more than a month and a half since Hamas terrorists abducted more than 240 hostages, including babies and the elderly. As Israel and Hamas negotiate the release of some of the hostages, Mo News speaks to two family members of those currently being held in Gaza. 

They tell us about their family members, what life is like for a hostage who was released, the abductions and what the last 46 days have been like. We also speak with a survivor from the October 7th attack at the music festival, who watched several members of her family get murdered.

Interviews:

– Mosheh speaks with Effie Yahalomi. Her 49 year old brother, Ohad, and 12 year old nephew, Eitan, are being held. (02:05)

– Mosheh speaks with Rotem Cooper, whose 84 year old father, Amiram, is being held captive. His 79 year old mother, Nurit, was released after 17 days. (14:45)

– Jill speaks with Lee Sasi: She miraculously survived the Oct 7 attack. (32:20)
