Three more Israeli hostages were released this week, despite calls from President Trump to release them all. Did Israel cave to Hamas, by not insisting on a full hostage release? In addition, IDF troops were sent south indicating that Israel would perhaps restart the war in Gaza. Is Israel headed for phase two of the ceasefire, or back into battle? These questions and all the latest news, on this week’s Israel Uncensored, with Josh Hasten.
Three more Israeli hostages – Or Levy, 34, Eli Sharabi, 52, and Ohad Ben Ami, 56, were released from Hamas captivity over the weekend. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says it was painful to see the three emaciated Jews come home, clearly starved by Hamas – modern day Nazis, after over 480 days in captivity. After seeing how the three were mistreated, Josh can’t wrap his head around the fact that all this time, Israel was providing Gaza, an enemy population, with humanitarian aid, which clearly wasn’t being distributed to our hostages.

California high-school golf phenom Max Margolis, 17, played 101 holes on Sunday at the Caesarea Golf Club, in the baking sun, to raise money for Israeli victims of terror.
This week, the United States, under President Joe Biden, abstained from an anti-Israel UN Security Council Resolution, thus allowing it to pass. The resolution, calling on an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, failed to condemn Hamas and failed to include an Israeli hostage release as part of the ceasefire. The fact that Hamas celebrated the passage of the (non-binding) resolution, says it all. Josh Hasten discusses this story, and all the latest news from Israel, on this week’s Israel Uncensored.

-The continued push for a ceasefire as Hamas claims it has no idea where the hostages are and if they are dead or alive.
– Congress pushed back on Biden’s executive order sanctioning so-called settlers for violence against Palestinians.
-Will it work or will the Biden administration take additional steps to pressure Israel as Hezbollah continues to attack the north and a terrorist attack in Eli claims the lives of two?
-Will the US continue to use its veto in the UN?
The United States on Tuesday vetoed an Algerian-sponsored U.N. Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten says that the Biden administration is playing both sides of the fence. The veto is appreciated, but at the same time the U.S. continues to call for the establishment of a P.A. state which would be a win for Hamas, while also voicing concern over a necessary military operation in Rafah. Israel insists that it will continue full steam ahead until Hamas is defeated and the hostages are brought home.
