BONUS EPISODE: What kind of hostage deal is this?

I’m releasing this key episode of the Benjamin Anthony Show on Jonny Gould's Jewish State, and you can follow the show here. Benjamin is joined as always by MirYam Institute's in-house military analyst, Yaakov Lappin, as they discuss the hostage deal's implications for Israeli society, the IDF, Israel's security and the hostage families and whether it might collapse amid the murderous bad faith of Hamas. They also analyze what might have been offered as a "sweetener" by incoming President Trump to Prime Minister Netanyahu and whether or not U.S. collaboration around the targeting of Iran's nuclear weapons program may be what pursuaded Israel's premiere to step back from several of his stated red-lines.  While Benjamin and Yaakov celebrate the return of every hostage, they present notes of caution about the consequences the deal might bring about.
