Relatives of hostages accuse Netanyahu of seeking to undermine deal

Family members of hostages call on the government to make a deal to free their loves ones and say that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to undermine a proposed deal.

Einav Zangauker, the mother of hostage Matan Zangauker, says during a press conference outside the Kirya military base in Tel Aviv that there’s a deal on the table that Hamas will agree too, but that Netanyahu is once again trying to undermine a chance to save the hostages. She accuses the premier of “committing a crime against his people.”

Ayala Metzger, the daughter-in-law of hostage Yoram Metzger says that if the price for releasing the hostages is ending the war, then the government must agree to that.

Other hostage family members call to end the war, appealing to war cabinet member Benny Gantz and observer Gadi Eisenkot to push for an end and not allow Netanyahi to undermine the deal.
