The families of hostages held in Gaza by Hamas deliver statements to the press outside the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv, ahead of the weekly rally urging a deal for the release of their loved ones.
“There is a deal on the table and [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu is carrying out a targeted killing of it,” says Einav Zangauker, whose son Matan was kidnapped by Palestinian terrorists on October 7, alluding to the assassinations this week of Hamas’s leader and Hezbollah’s top military commander.
Zangauker accuses the premier of “choosing to drag us into an escalation, instead of closing a deal that will save lives and prevent an escalation.”
