Families Accuse Netanyahu of Sacrificing Hostages
The Straits Times
|March 20, 2025
Relatives of Israeli hostages held in Gaza said on March 18 that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to return to fighting in the Palestinian territory could "sacrifice" their loved ones after the military carried out a wave of air strikes.

JERUSALEM -
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum said it had received no response to its request to meet Mr Netanyahu and other officials to hear how the remaining hostages would be "protected from the military pressure".
"Now it becomes clear — the public officials did not meet with them because they were planning the explosion of the ceasefire, which could sacrifice their family members," the campaign group said.
