Hamas-Israel hostage deal imminent – Gulf Times

“When you have a good conversation on the concept of economic development, public education, social mobility through giving folks a chance to chase their version of the American dream,” Sakbun, who was commissioned an Army Ranger officer, tells The Recast, “a lot more folks realize that they truly are Democratic in some of their principles.”
