Netanyahu Dismisses Criticism Over Hostage Killings Amid Gaza War
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip and the issue of returning hostages during a multi-agency situation assessment with senior IDF commanders. He notably avoided discussing the October 7 failures or the fact that many hostages were killed while in captivity. Netanyahu stated that some people believed there was no way to secure the release of all hostages without accepting Hamas's demands. He described Hamas's demand as a condition to withdraw from Gaza in exchange for all hostages, which he rejected, calling it a "terrible defeat" rather than a victory.
