Mother of hostage calls on PM to put forward proposal for hostage deal to end war amid Sinwar's likely demise

Einav Zangauker, whose son Matan is one of the 101 hostages still held in Gaza responds to the apparent killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

“We have settled the score with the arch-murderer Sinwar, but now, more than ever, the lives of my son Matan and the other hostages are in tangible danger.”

“Especially today, when the country is breathing a sigh of relief, it is important to remember that the public wants the hostages at home and their return is one of the objectives of the war. There will be no real closure, no total victory if we don’t save their lives and bring them all back,” Zangauker adds.

She calls on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to immediately put forward a proposal to return the hostages, even if it means ending the war.
