On October 7th, hundreds of civilians were kidnapped and taken hostage into Gaza, which has caused Israeli society to struggle with unimaginable human dilemmas. This has led to an emotional, ethical, and moral debate. Negotiations with Hamas have been fierce, as it is the culmination of prolonged escalations over five decades. It all started with plane hijackings, hostage takeovers, and the kidnapping of soldiers and civilians, both dead or alive. All of these acts were done to terrorize and gain negotiating leverage over Israel. This series takes viewers behind the scenes of some of the most well-known hostage takeovers and the psychological drama of the negotiations involved in these events.
