Eye for Iran | Ep 34 | Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal strikes blow at Iran’s hostage diplomacy

Author: Iran International English January 17, 2025 Duration: 29:11
The ceasefire deal announced this week between Israel and Hamas sends a signal of defeat to the Islamic Republic of Iran, a former hostage in Tehran who was also part of influencing the ceasefire negotiations told Iran International.
Nizar Zakka, the head of Hostage Aid Worldwide, was kidnapped in 2015 by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) after being invited to attend a conference in Tehran. The US-Lebanese dual national was locked up four years in Iran’s notorious Evin prison, spending 18 months in solitary confinement.
“It's a big lesson that this [hostage diplomacy] will not work,” said Zakka on Eye for Iran.
