(202) Hostages Home—At What Cost? The Ceasefire, Trump’s 20-Point Plan, and Pesach’s Warning
Description
We’re all grateful to see precious hostages reunited with their families. But what did this ceasefire really buy—and what did it quietly spend? In this episode of Shoulder to Shoulder, Rabbi Pesach and Pastor Doug unpack the new Israel–Hamas agreement and President Trump’s twenty-point plan. Pesach shares a decidedly pessimistic take on the trade-offs: deterrence, leverage, and what this deal signals for the next phase in Gaza. Doug presses on the moral calculus, strategic risks, and whether the plan’s promises are achievable or dangerously vague. It’s a sober conversation that celebrates life saved while asking hard questions about the price paid—security, justice, and the precedent set. If you want clarity beyond the headlines and a frank assessment of where this road could lead, don’t miss this one.
