Members of the Hostages and Missing Families Forum criticize Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for stating during a press conference earlier this evening that the protests in Israel demanding a hostage deal only result in Hamas raising its demands.

“The families are meeting with world leaders, led efforts for the transfer of medicine to the hostages, brought the president of the International Criminal Court to Israel and mobilized the media and the world’s most powerful influencers in support of Israel and the hostages,” says the forum in a statement.

“We expect the prime minister to remember that he is an elected official whose job it is to correct the errors [of October 7], not scold those whose family members were kidnapped,” it adds.
