Mother of hostage accuses Netanyahu of blocking hostage deal by refusing to end war
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFamilies of Israelis held hostage in Gaza call for the immediate release of their loved ones from Hamas captivity as part of a deal to end the war.
The mother of hostage Matan Zangauker notes US President Donald Trump’s remarks yesterday that a deal could be reached in the next week.
“There is a deal on the table and what is preventing it is [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu’s refusal to end the war,” says Einav Zangauker.
She also warns that if the hostages aren’t returned imminently, “they will die in captivity.”
