Friday Focus – Hostage Release & Targeted Assassination

This week’s edition of Friday Focus starts with a look ahead at the next four days of planned hostage exchanges between Hamas and Israel. What should we expect from both parties as the exchanges unfold? How could Hamas take advantage of the pause in hostilities? Will Israel restart its military campaign against Hamas once the temporary ceasefire comes to an end? And how will this war continue to be prosecuted by both sides as the conflict moves from northern Gaza to the south, where millions of refugees have congregated? The second half of the program catches the Friday Focus audience up on the extraordinary warnings that the U.S. government has issued to India not to target Khalistani separatists in America for assassination. What can Canada learn from the U.S. response? And what can be done to discourage violent separatist movements in Canada that are damaging important bilateral relationships and run counter to the country’s national interests?
