Part 3/8:
Daniel Hoffman, a former CIA station chief, provided insights into the situation, framing Fogel’s release as a remarkable diplomatic victory. He pointed out the Biden administration's delay in designating Fogel as "wrongfully detained," noting that the acknowledgment only came in August 2024 from National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. Hoffman suggested that this success could also open additional communication channels for addressing the war in Ukraine and potential arms control treaties with Russia.
