Hostage Deal Has Few Upsides for Israel and the West
The Negative Consequences Are Already Evident.

By: John Wohlstetter

On Friday, the first 24 of a promised 50-hostage release by Hamas — 13 Israelis and 11 foreign nationals, none American — were delivered to the International Red Cross. In exchange for the 50, Israel will release 150 Palestinian terrorist prisoners. Israel has said that it will add one day of humanitarian pause for every 10 hostages released; this would add 19 days to the initial 4-day pause.

GIIS Senior Fellow RJ Matt Brodsky quoted on new UK sanctions on Iran:

“Those concerned about Iran’s nefarious activities should be happy to see the U.K. applying more sanctions on the regime,” explained Matthew RJ Brodsky, a senior fellow at the Gold Institute for International Strategy.

“That said, it is not a large enough stick to induce a change in the regime’s behavior when it comes to its terrorist activities or its nuclear program,” he told The Foreign Desk.
..

Experts like Brodsky note that weakness from Western countries has “sent the message to Iran that they need not fear biting consequences for their actions.”

“This explains why Iran feels more emboldened to carry out attacks on Western soil. A credible military threat is needed to re-establish even a basic level of deterrence,” he added.
...

“Unfortunately, the Biden administration appears to be only focused on the carrots it can provide the regime. The results are predictable. It will lead to more Iranian aggression,” Brodsky explained.

The United Kingdom's (U.K.) Foreign Secretary James Cleverly announced Thursday the British government's plan to sanction the Islamic Republic of Iran following 15 "credible threats" to kill or kidnap people in Britain deemed a threat by the regime. Speaking to Sky News, Cleverly said that the new p...
