Pressure on the Israeli government is mounting from within and without. As the international community debates exactly what kind of ceasefire it demands of Israel, many of the hostage families urge an immediate pause to bring their loved ones home - a plea that gained new intensity after the mistaken killing by the IDF of three fleeing hostages in Gaza. Yonit and Jonathan discuss all that, together with a new poll which suggests Israeli public opinion is hardening on a range of issues - including disenchantment with Benjamin Netanyahu. Plus: a nod to actor, writer and polymath Stephen Fry, who this week took a stand that caught many by surprise.
