BENJAMIN's ISRAEL BRIEFING: Hostage Family Member Aviram Meir with Analysis of Israeli and American Military Campaigns from Yaakov Lappin

In this episode of the podcast, I'm joined by Aviram Meir, uncle of Almog Meir-Jan. Almog was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7th. He's a 21 year old civilian. Aviram and I discuss how he sees the current stage of the negotiations for the release of the hostages and he expresses the guilt he carries as the relative of a hostage in the pursuit of whose freedom and return, soldiers of the IDF are fighting - and dying. 

After that, I'm joined by our in-house analyst Yaakov Lappin for a brief discussion about the U.S. retaliatory strikes in Iraq and Syria, the likelihood of a direct conflict between Israel and Hezbollah and the ongoing war inside the Gaza Strip. 

As ever, I hope you enjoy the conversation and please remember to subscribe.
