Netanyahu, Gallant, Gantz to meet with families of hostages tomorrow

Members of the war cabinet, headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, are slated to meet tomorrow evening with family members of the some 240 people held hostage by terror groups in Gaza.

It is not clear how many family members will join the meeting, as the Prime Minister’s Office says that “representatives” of the families will take part.

In addition to Netanyahu, the war cabinet is staffed by Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Minister Benny Gantz. Observers on the cabinet include ministers Ron Dermer and Gadi Eisenkot and Shas chief MK Aryeh Deri.

Gantz and Eisenkot met with family members yesterday after they had demanded to meet with Gallant and Netanyahu as well, though neither figure showed up.

Many family members have been heavily critical of Netanyahu and his failure to bring their loved ones home after 44 days.
