Speaking to Channel 12, hostage Matan Zangauker’s girlfriend Ilana Gritzewsky pleads with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to end the war in Gaza in exchange for the release of the remaining 100 hostages.
Netanyahu has rejected the trade-off to date, pushing for a more limited deal that would see the release of only some of the hostages while allowing Israel to resume fighting afterward. Hamas has rejected this exchange until now.
Gritzewsky is interviewed alongside Jewish Agency chief Doron Almog who also expresses his support for ending the war and releasing Palestinian security prisoners in exchange for the hostages.
