(Jan. 20, 2025 / JNS)
Israel welcomed three hostages home on Jan. 19 who had been held by Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, 2023.
While this wasn’t Jerusalem’s preferred way to get the hostages back, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to the deal after weeks of negotiations led by U.S. President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff.
On this episode of “Jerusalem Minute,” JNS CEO and Jerusalem bureau chief Alex Traiman, and Middle East correspondent Josh Hasten discuss all the developments that led to the deal and what may come next in the war against Hamas.
