THE UNSPOKEN PERILS OF THE HOSTAGE-RELEASE DEAL

This episode features a read-out of my most recent op-ed, published by JNS.ORG on Thursday, January 23rd. A link to the oped is included in the show notes, as is an RSVP link to register for our exclusive, live conversation with John Spencer, Chair Of Urban Warfare Studies at West Point.
In my column, entitled "The Unspoken Perils Of The Hostage Release Deal," I outline the extreme danger into which the three hostages released last week were placed, while being transferred by the Red Cross en-route to being freed.
Surrounded by hundreds, even thousands of Gazans as they were, their lives were placed in unfathomable danger - irresponsibly so.
Here, I argue that their survival was nothing short of miraculous, and that nobody in Israel's policy making circles should make the mistake of assuming that such a miracle will be repeated in the context of further hostage releases.
We must do more to secure our people during their final moments in captivity.
