Netanyahu, other war cabinet ministers to meet relatives of Gaza hostages at 3 p.m.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other war cabinet ministers will meet families of hostages held by terrorists in Gaza at 3 p.m. today, the Prime Minister’s Office announces.
“Messages with details have been sent to invitees,” a statement says. “Attending the meeting will also be senior representatives of government ministries that are working for the benefit of hostages’ families and returnees.”
The meeting comes amid criticism that Netanyahu has been reluctant to meet relatives of abductees, many of whom have been highly critical of his conduct.
