Israel at War: Gershon Baskin on the Hostage Crisis

Gilad Shalit and Gershon Baskin

For over three weeks now, approximately 240 Israelis have been kidnapped in Gaza, when we do not know what their condition is and it is not clear how they will be released. Dr. Gershon Baskin mediated the deal for the release of Gilad Shalit and has access and familiarity with senior Hamas officials. And this time, he is trying to use his connections to bring about the release of the abductees. So this time, we are talking to the man who knows the enemies of Gaza intimately, and the challenges facing the state Israel is in its mission to bring all the abductees home.
Elad Shamhief, Mako’s European Correspondent, interviews Gershon Baskin on the “one a day” podcast.
