Episode Details

Mark Regev and Ruthie Blum unpack the explosive political, moral and strategic debate over Israel’s proposed death penalty for terrorists, a bill passed in its first reading just as Hadar Goldin’s body was returned after 11 years in Gaza. With Prime Minister Netanyahu’s backing and public support surging post-October 7th, the law may seem inevitable. But is it truly a deterrent, or just symbolic? The hosts wrestle with questions of justice vs. revenge, deterrence vs. diplomacy and whether executing terrorists prevents future kidnappings or fuels them. Alongside this, they explore the chilling dilemma of 200 Hamas terrorists reportedly trapped in a tunnel, the risks of a renewed regional war and the limits of peace in a Middle East still riddled with jihadist threats.*TO ENTER The Dream Raffle* Win a 1.2-million-dollar apartment in the heart of Jerusalem: https://shorturl.at/ujCk5
