War cabinet minister Benny Gantz says his “stomach turned” when he first saw the video of five female hostages being taken hostage by Hamas terrorists on October 7 and that he will not stop thinking about the captives until they are all returned.

“But the responsibility of leaders is not just to look the reality in the eye, it is to create a different reality, even when it means making difficult decisions. And that is our responsibility,” he writes on X.
