Likud Claims Netanyahu's Gaza Offensive Led to Hostage Releases
The Likud party responded to statements made by Jared Kushner, former US President Donald Trump's envoy, asserting that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to enter Gaza City and target Hamas leaders in Qatar was the catalyst for Hamas agreeing to release all remaining hostages.
Kushner had previously suggested that the US leveraged Israel's international isolation following a failed attack in Doha to pressure it into a deal concerning Gaza. The Likud countered this narrative, stating that the military action in Gaza, combined with significant pressure from President Trump, compelled Hamas to abandon its demands and agree to the hostage release.
This exchange highlights differing perspectives on the diplomatic and military strategies employed during the conflict and their impact on hostage negotiations.
