Summary

The world needs to understand that Hamas is “a brutal terrorist organization, [and] that it's only starting with Israel,” Sawsan Hasson says. According to Hasson, head of public diplomacy at the Embassy of Israel in Washington, Hamas’ leaders have been quite vocal that they plan to carry out similar acts of violence against the United States and Americans. The Daily Signal spoke with Hasson at the Israeli Embassy after a screening of a 45-minute film containing raw footage of Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel. It was Hasson’s third time watching the film, but she was still visibly shaken. The embassy official says she and all of the people of Israel have a very clear message for America, and it's a call to bring the hostages “back home now.” Hasson joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain what Israel’s key objective in the war is, and what's known about the hostage negotiations.
