Never underestimate the ability of President Trump to make a deal and never underestimate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cunning ways of handling a hostile Israeli public and Middle East neighbors who would like to eliminate Israel. The two together are a formidable force.

It is likely no secret that Trump and Netanyahu, in coordination with the best intelligence agencies in the world, have more than once schemed to accomplish some great things. But perhaps none greater than the hostage release.

How did they do it? Who were the players behind the scenes? What happened with the “failed attack” on Hamas leaders in Qatar? You’ll find answers to those questions here. (The video was posted on Wednesday, October 8, the day the deal was announced.)
