Part 2/9:
Celebrated host Hugh Hewitt takes the opportunity to remind his audience of the serious nature of global conflicts that overshadow the holiday cheer. He points out that December 24 marks another day in a 15-month-long war in Gaza, emphasizing the loss of life among soldiers, particularly those from Israel's Defense Forces (IDF). The sacrifices of these young soldiers, including Captain Ilia Gabriel and Staff Sergeant Natanel Pesich, serve as grim reminders of the ongoing violence in a region that has historical ties to the story of Christ's birth.
