Ambassador Michael Oren, a historian and former Israeli envoy to the U.S., and his son Yoav, a veteran IDF special forces soldier, assess the complex realities of the Gaza conflict. They explore the concept of military success versus ongoing threats from Hamas, the psychological impacts of combat, and the moral complexities faced by soldiers. Yoav shares firsthand experiences during intense urban warfare, while Michael discusses the challenges of hostage diplomacy and the strategic implications of humanitarian aid manipulation by Hamas. Anti-Semitism in the West and media biases are also critically examined.
