In this Situational Briefing, I break down Israel’s next moves in Gaza as Hamas tests the Trump-brokered ceasefire. 

I explain that Israel is likely to track and eliminate terrorists trapped in tunnels, why Hamas is pushing beyond the “yellow line,” and reflect on the legacy and resignation of one of Israel’s top strategists, Minister Ron Dermer.

In this episode of the show, I’m honored to be joined by Gal Gilboa Dalal, the older brother of Guy Gilboa Dalal, who was abducted by Hamas from the Nova Festival on October 7, 2023, and recently returned home along with 19 other living hostages.

The MirYam Institute spearheaded Gal's unrelenting campaign  to bring his brother home, bringing him to speak to communities, elected officials overseas and international media outlets.

Here, just days after Guy's release, Gal shares what that struggle entailed, how his brother is recovering and how he sees the world after living through this unimaginable trauma.

Special thanks to Rozita Pnini for her ongoing work and dedication to the hostage families since this dark chapter began.
