The Action Update: No Rest for the Wicked

As we write this week’s edition of the Action Update, we are learning that our previous cautious optimism that another round of hostages may be released was, once again, tragically misplaced. What remains of Hamas continues to treat the hostages like Lucy and the football. It’s a grotesque reminder of the death-cult that defines Hamas.
