Israel’s military says it has now informed the families of 155 men, women and children that they’re being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza.

Gershon Baskin helped negotiate the release of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who was captured in 2006 and held for 5 years.

He has been speaking to Hamas, trying to negotiate the release of hostages again. Matt Frei went to speak to him.
