Israel Tightens The Noose On Terror...Will It Work?

About this episode

Ruthie Blum and Mark Regev discuss the implications of a controversial new law in Israel regarding terrorism and prisoner swaps.

Senior contributing editor at JNS Ruthie Blum and former Israeli ambassador to the United Kingdom Mark Regev—both former advisers in the Prime Minister’s Office— dive into one of Israel’s most explosive debates. Together, they unpack the moral and political firestorm behind a controversial new law. You’ll learn why decades of prisoner swaps, brutal attacks like October 7 and global hypocrisy have reignited this issue, and why even supporters are asking a chilling question: will this actually stop terrorism, or make things worse?
