Orit Mark Ettinger, whose family has been deeply affected by terrorism, shares her perspective on the controversial issue of releasing terrorists in exchange for hostages, a dilemma Israel faced during the Gilad Shalit deal. This exchange, which involved freeing 1,027 prisoners, remains debated due to its implications for national security and encouragement of future kidnappings. Ettinger's personal losses, including her father in a terrorist attack and a brother in the Mossad, add emotional depth to the discussion, while her resilience and hope shine through despite the tragedies.
