Ex-Biden Official Accuses Netanyahu of Derailing Hostage Deal

Ex-Biden Official Accuses Netanyahu of Derailing Hostage Deal

Former Biden administration official Phil Gordon accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of obstructing a hostage deal in July 2024, prolonging the Gaza war by six months. Gordon stated that Netanyahu introduced new conditions after Hamas had agreed to a framework, despite U.S. pressure from President Biden. This delay, Gordon claimed, led to thousands of additional Palestinian deaths and the loss of more Israeli hostages.

Israeli Woman Recounts Hamas Attack Trauma, Met With Hostility in Netherlands

Sabine Taasa, an Israeli-French woman whose husband and son were killed on October 7, 2023, faced hostile shouts of "We don't care!" when she spoke about her trauma at a film screening in Delft, Netherlands, on October 1, 2026. Her husband died shielding their sons from a grenade, and her eldest son was killed elsewhere. The film screening, for a movie described as investigating "mass killings of Palestinian civilians," was interrupted when Taasa tried to share her personal experience. The author condemns the audience's reaction as a profound moral failure.
