Hamas, the hostages are a liability, not insurance. | Eylon Levy with Lishay Lavi
Israel: State of a Nation
Eylon Levy, in conversation with Lishay Lavi, whose husband Omri Miran is a hostage, addresses the strategic thinking behind how Hamas views hostages. Levy argues that instead of treating hostages as leverage for negotiation, Hamas should be compelled to see them as a liability. This could fundamentally change the dynamics of hostage situations, potentially decreasing the perceived value of taking and holding hostages for political gain. By reshaping this narrative, there might be new avenues for resolving hostage crises more effectively, focusing on diplomatic and strategic pressure.
