Former Senior CIA officer Marc Polymeropoulos and Colin Clarke join Andrea Mitchell to weigh in on the potential impact of a pause. “We watch war now on our televisions in 2023. But this isn't a Netflix series. This is a conflict that's going to be long and drawn out and I think the Israelis with the will to start preparing for the political aspects, as unpalatable as that may seem right now,” Clarke tells Andrea. “The US intelligence community, US law enforcement is obligated, by law we have to bring to justice those who killed our fellow citizens. And so, you know, while we celebrate this, you know, the humanitarian cause and certainly with hostages coming out, there is much more to do,” Polymeropoulos adds.
