The difficult conversation we're not having about hostage deals
Update: 2025-10-16
Description
In one of the most emotionally charged weeks in Israel’s modern history, “Basic Law,” hosted by Aylana Meisel, Executive Director of the Israel Law and Liberty Forum, confronts the hardest question of all: When life is sacred, how do you measure its worth?
As Israeli families rejoice at the return of their loved ones, the nation also grapples with the unbearable price: 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, including convicted terrorists, now walking free. This episode features Rabbi Dr. Shlomo Brody, author of Ethics of Our Fighters: A Jewish View on War and Morality, for a profound conversation about the moral, legal and spiritual costs of hostage exchanges in Israel’s ongoing struggle for security.
