In this episode, hosts Amira and Ibrahim are joined by Alana Zeitchik, an American-Israeli advocate for the hostages taken by Hamas on October 7th. Six of Alana's cousins, including three young children, were kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz to Gaza. While five have returned, Alana's cousin's husband, David Cunio, remains captive. Alana believes the voices of the hostages and their families have been muffled by extreme voices seeking revenge. She is a strong advocate for a deal that values life above all and emphasizes that this must be the path forward. "For most of the world, days and time have passed, but for us, it's still October 7th, and in Gaza, the war still rages on."
