Original Title: Israel, Hamas Peace Deal? | Yaron Brook Show 
October 5, 2025

Is Israel on the verge of a disastrous “peace” deal with Hamas — or another moral betrayal disguised as diplomacy? In this explosive episode of The Yaron Brook Show, Yaron breaks down the truth behind the Israel–Hamas deal, prisoner swaps, and so-called “Gaza reforms.”

Why is the world pushing Israel to negotiate with terrorists? What does it say about the West’s morality—and its cowardice? Yaron exposes the altruist premises behind appeasement, analyzes Netanyahu’s and Trump’s roles, and explains why true peace requires moral clarity, not compromise.

The conversation extends far beyond the Middle East—touching on the psychology of cultish movements, Trumpism, moral cowardice, free markets, and even Viktor Frankl’s philosophy of meaning. A gripping intellectual journey from Gaza to Washington, from moral philosophy to political realism.

👉 Watch, think, and challenge your premises.
