Who’s really pulling the strings behind the hostage crisis? In this episode, Eylon Levy is joined by Asher Fredman—former Strategic Affairs official and Executive Director of the Institute for National Security—to unpack the shocking realities behind Edan Alexander’s release and the geopolitical theater that surrounds it.
Topics discussed:
- How the U.S. pressured Qatar to force Hamas to release a hostage
- The dangerous spin cycles from Israel, the U.S., and Hamas
- Qatar’s double game as Hamas's patron and Western partner
- The myth of humanitarian leverage: why Gaza reconstruction won’t disarm Hamas
- How international institutions are shielding terrorists and targeting Israel
- Why the ICC and ICJ have lost all moral authority
This episode doesn't offer easy answers—because there are none. But it does break down the strategic dilemmas Israel faces as it fights both on the battlefield and in the courtroom of world opinion.
