Regional Conflict, Hostage Accounts, and Rising Antisemitism

We also hear the harrowing account of ex-hostage Avinatan Or, who detailed his escape attempt from Gaza captivity and the threats he faced. Plus, former hostage Emily Damari speaks out against the denial of October 7th atrocities and rising global antisemitism, while a plot to attack the Israeli Embassy in London is thwarted with a life sentence for the perpetrator. Domestic tensions are also highlighted with Haredi protests and news on election-timed Gaza roadmap efforts.
