Mike Gallagher is joined by our President and Global CEO Yael Eckstein to talk about the peace deal between Israel and Hamas and the long-awaited return of the hostages from Gaza:
We are just, with baited breath, waiting to see what I’ve been saying is kind of like the dry bones that come to life in the vision of Ezekiel –imagining these hostages walking out of the tunnels after two years and seeing sunlight for the first time in two years and being able to walk over Israel’s border and hug their families for the first time in two years. This is the vision of Ezekiel –the dry bones are coming to life here in the Holy Land.
This is when the healing actually starts to begin, not when it ends. We’ve all been in our bomb shelters for the past two years with over 35,000 rockets from seven different fronts being launched at Israel –the size of New Jersey. For those families who have lost loved ones on October 7 –the hostages, the heroic soldiers. This is definitely the closing comfort of a chapter. But, this is when the healing begins.
When does the war end? As soon as Israel gets our hostages back. That’s what this war awas about this whole time. We sanctify life and we will do anything to get our people back. The second when we get our people back, the war ends.
