This week on Jerusalem Dateline, we examine the release of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, held captive by Hamas for five years and exchanged for about a thousand Palestinian prisoners, some of whom are terrorists.

CBN Middle East Bureau Chief Chris Mitchell also explores the meaning behind Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, which brings Jews and Christians from around the world to the Holy Land.

And, he's called America's rabbi, and he talks to Mitchell about the "brotherhood of destiny" between Israel and America.

Mitchell brings you the latest updates and analysis on Israel in this bi-weekly news program based in Jerusalem.
