Israeli Journalist Demands Apologies From Hostage Families to Netanyahu

Israeli journalist Inon Magal sparked outrage by demanding that families of hostages and victims of the October 7 attacks apologize to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and vote for his Likud party. Magal, discussing a critical book about Netanyahu, called the authors and relatives "despicable people." Several affected family members, including Ofri Bibas and Eyal Eshel, publicly rejected the demand. The organization "255" and party chairman Gadi Eisenkot condemned Magal's statements as cruel mockery and an exploitation of grief.
