Summary

Last week, Prime Minister Netanyahu released to his cabinet what could be interpreted as a first sketch, an early blueprint, or a statement of principles for post-war Gaza planning. At the same time, and much more newsworthy, it appears that there is some progress on the negotiations to return more Israeli hostages. To help us understand what’s going with both tracks, our guest today is NADAV EYAL, who returns to the podcast. He is a columnist for Yediot. Eyal has been covering Middle-Eastern and international politics for the last two decades for Israeli radio, print and television news. One of Israel’s leading journalists, Eyal was a winner of the Sokolov Prize, Israel’s most prestigious journalism award. Eyal has been covering Middle-Eastern and international politics for the last two decades for Israeli radio, print and television news. He received a master’s degree from the London School of Economics and a law degree from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

0:41.1	Israelis that are being tortured right now in those cells of Hamas in Gaza.

1:14.6	Last week, Prime Minister Netanyahu released his cabinet what could be interpreted as a first
1:19.9	sketch or an early blueprint or a statement of principles for post-war Gaza

1:36.4	administrative and governance responsibilities to Palestinians that do not have any previous

1:44.0	A few other principles that have either been stated explicitly or implicit in the early stage planning
