Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressing the families of the captives

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressing the families of the captives: "I have just finished another consultation regarding the release of our captives. Yesterday there was a meeting, the day before yesterday there was a meeting, and the day before that there was also a meeting. Since the return of the delegation from Qatar, we have not stopped trying.

But there is one big obstacle, and everyone knows it - it is Hamas. It clings to its refusal.
President Trump said it, Witkoff said it, we say it, everyone who knows the facts, including the mediators, all know it.

We do not give up. We will continue to do everything we can, one way or another. We are committed to their return."
