Is Hamas stalling a hostage deal to plan another attack?

“Our Middle East,” Ep. 40

Why can’t Hamas seem to find the Israeli hostages it has been holding captive in Gaza since Oct. 7, or is the terrorist organization stalling by considering fake hostage negotiations? Is a new attack being planned for the month of Ramadan, which starts next week? Is international pressure on Israel strengthening and therefore playing right into the hands of Hamas?

JCPA president Dan Diker and Arab-Israeli journalist Khaled Abu Toameh discuss the recent hostage negotiations and the game being played by the terrorists.

Dan Diker is president of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs and the longtime director of its Counter-Political Warfare Project.
Khaled Abu Toameh is an award winning Arab and Palestinian Affairs journalist formerly with The Jerusalem Post. He is Senior Distinguished Fellow at the Gatestone Institute and a Fellow of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.
