Netanyahu meeting with representatives of hostages
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is meeting with representatives of the families who had loved ones captured by Gaza terror groups in the deadly assault on Israel last week.
The meeting in central Israel is Netanyahu’s first with the representatives, although he has spoken privately to several of the families.
Hamas and Islamic Jihad are believed to be holding between 150-200 people, including women children and the elderly. Many of the hostages also hold foreign citizenship.
