As Operation “Guardian of the Walls” draws to an end one can hear among former security officials and on the airwaves that Israel must act to promote a prisoner exchange in accordance with the practice that at the of a military campaign each party releases the other party’s soldiers and civilians that it captured.

2020 will be written down in history as a turning point year. It is hard to predict where the global pivot will be, however, one thing is clear – what used to be will be no more. The healthcare and economic challenges will change, tourism, work and daily routines will change, international, bilateral and multilateral relationships will change and similarly the security and counterterrorism challenge will be shaped accordingly. The COVID-19 pandemic has been wielding great influence on the above as well as many other global processes.
