After meeting with representatives of families whose loved ones are being held captive in Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledges Israel “will exercise exhaust every possibility” to bring about their return.
Netanyahu stressed to the families that freeing the hostages is a chief goal of the war.
“The key is the level of pressure,” the premier says. “The greater the pressure, the greater the chances [of freeing the captives].”
Channel 12 reports that Netanyahu also told them that there was no avoiding a major ground incursion, including to ratchet up pressure on Hamas.
