Hamas claims it doesn’t know if hostages are dead or alive

“Jerusalem Minute” with Middle East correspondent Josh Hasten, Ep. 9

JNS CEO and Jerusalem bureau chief Alex Traiman and Middle East correspondent Josh Hasten discuss the continued push for a ceasefire as Hamas claims that it has no idea where the hostages are, and whether or not they are dead or alive.

At the same time, Congress is pushing back on U.S. President Joe Biden’s executive order sanctioning “settlers” for violence against Palestinians.

Also, will the Biden administration take additional steps to pressure Israel as Hezbollah continues to attack the north and a terrorist attack in Eli takes the lives of two Israelis, one of them only 16 years old?
