Inside the Hostage Negotiations | Global News
Description
Brett McGurk, the key architect behind the October 7 hostage rescue efforts, drops his explosive new book “Brink” this fall—set for release on October 6. With firsthand access to high-stakes negotiations, secret talks, and tense moments in the Situation Room, McGurk reveals the razor-thin diplomacy that saved lives. He uncovers a nearly sealed Israel-Saudi deal, behind-the-scenes maneuvering with Trump-appointed Steve Witkoff, and how a fractured U.S. government forged a rare bipartisan front—all while missiles flew and time ran out. This is the inside story of how the impossible became possible.
