From Hamas using psychological pressure, security expert warns; hostages’ brother demands deal ‘at any cost’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFormer Shin Bet official Ilan Lotan tells Kan radio that Hamas is “trying to exert psychological pressure” amid ongoing hostage negotiations and is trying to find Israel’s weak points.
“Hamas is setting conditions that I don’t know anybody would be willing to accept,” he says.
However, Liran Berman, the brother of twins Ziv and Gali Berman who are held hostage in Gaza, believes Israel must make a deal for their release “at any cost,” he tells Kan radio.
He says that he hasn’t received any information about his siblings in a month and that the family is “doing everything to return them.”
