Relatives of hostage family to Trump: Biden is preventing Israeli victory

“The Caroline Glick Show,” Ep. 103

Journalist and author Caroline Glick interviews Yosi Shnaider, a cousin and advocate of the Bibas family, who were taken captive from Kibbutz Nir Oz in southern Israel by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7. Shnaider describes a letter he wrote to former President Donald Trump in the hopes that he could somehow help free them: parents Yarden and Shiri, and their two young sons, Ariel and Kfir. Shnaider further expresses that the international community and the Biden administration have abandoned Israel, and more specifically, the hostages.

Caroline B. Glick is the international affairs advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
