Hope of the deal

Liel Leibovitz is editor-at-large for Tablet and host of Tablet’s Rootless podcast. Gadi Taub is the rogue Israeli academic (as he describes himself) and co-host with Michae Doran of Tablet’s Israel Update podcast. In the Rootless episode below, Taub subjects the hostage deal to critical analysis. Both Leibovitz and Taub, by the way, are Israeli citizens, although Leibovitz is an expatriate who lives in New York.

As Taub explains, there is a glimmer of hope: that it fails to reach the second phase. Toward the end of the episode they take up the Tucker Carlson wing of the MAGA movement and the fate of the Bibas family. If you want to understand what is happening here, you may find this podcast worth your time.
