Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu puts out a video statement saying he hears “the cries of the hostage families who lost what is most dear to them,” after the release of a recording in which the father of a captive murdered by Hamas can be heard berating the premier.
“My wife and I go to heartrending meetings which just tear the heart to pieces. I hear, I listen, I also don’t judge. And I will do everything I can to return the hostages and to win the war,” Netanyahu insists.
