Triumph: Trump Frees Hostages, Electrifies Knesset

Israel's long national nightmare with regard to these hostages is now effectively over.

Ben Shapiro

Unless you spend time in Israel, you can’t really understand the intensity of the feeling around the hostages taken by Hamas.

I think that most other countries look at this sort of situation and think, “Okay, you have a terrorist group that took hostages. Are you really willing to go house to house for two years instead of just bombing the place in order to get those hostages out? Are you really willing to sacrifice hundreds of soldiers in order to protect hostages and try to save those hostages?”
