Six months of war: Has Israel done enough to bring the hostages home?

“The Quad,” Ep. 22

Israel marked six months since Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre. With more than 100 Israelis still in Hamas captivity and as anti-government protests mount on the streets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, “The Quad” discusses the most crucial questions: Has the Israeli government done enough to bring its citizens home? What are the war’s objectives, and is Israel accomplishing them? Is this a story of victory or colossal failure?

Also, Fleur Hassan-Nahoum speaks with Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre (BICOM) director Richard Pater about recent efforts in the Knesset to ban Al-Jazeera news in Israel. Is this a violation of free speech?

And, of course, get ready for the Scumbags and Heroes of the Week!

JNS TV show with Fleur Hassan-Nahoum (deputy mayor of Jerusalem), Emily Schrader (activist and journalist), Ashira Solomon (African-American Jew and political moderator) and Vivian Bercovici (former Canadian ambassador to Israel).
