Big Blow To Netanyahu From Israelis: Angry Hostages Families File 112 Cases Against Israeli PM [Video]

Big Blow To Netanyahu From Israelis: Angry Hostages Families File 112 Cases Against Israeli PM

In a dramatic move, 112 Israelis, including families of hostages held in Gaza, have filed a lawsuit against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government for failing to prioritize the safe return of captives. The plaintiffs accuse the government of violating fundamental laws and neglecting their rights, expressing frustration over 15 months of inaction. Families, represented by Attorney Professor Barak Medina, claim the government's unilateral decisions, without consulting security officials, have contributed to the prolonged suffering. As families demand answers, Netanyahu’s office disputes reports of a potential exchange deal with Hamas. The case, now in Israel’s Supreme Court, is expected to put immense pressure on the government to act. #IsraelLawsuit #NetanyahuUnderFire #HostagesFamilies #GazaCaptives #IsraeliJustice #FamilyRights #SupremeCourtIsrael #NetanyahuAccountability #HostagesRights #IsraelGovernmentFail #HamasExchangeDeal #PressureOnNetanyahu #IsraeliFamiliesFight #CaptivesReturn #LegalBattleIsrael Also Read Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Confirms Troop Presence in Syrian Buffer Zone for Security Reasons :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-occupation-buffer-zone-syria-security-011-4018801.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Intensifies Strikes in Lebanon as Netanyahu Promises Strong Response to Hezbollah Violations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/deadly-strikes-israel-lebanon-netanyahu-iron-fist-011-4005657.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Endorses Proposed Ceasefire Agreement with Hezbollah Amid Ongoing Gaza Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-supports-ceasefire-agreement-lebanon-hezbollah-011-3999341.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~PR.152~GR.124~

Gantz Rips Into Netanyahu For Turning His Back on the Hostages; Exposes His Hidden Political Agenda [Video]

Gantz Rips Into Netanyahu For Turning His Back on the Hostages; Exposes His Hidden Political Agenda

Former Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz has launched a blistering attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of prioritizing his political survival over the lives of Israeli hostages held in Gaza. Gantz criticized Netanyahu for not doing enough to secure the release of captives, highlighting that key war objectives—toppling Hamas’ rule and bringing hostages back—remain unfulfilled. He also suggested that Netanyahu’s reluctance to allow a civilian government in Gaza is prolonging the conflict unnecessarily. Gantz’s remarks came amidst rising concerns from Israeli military officials, who warned that without a clear post-war strategy, Hamas could rebuild its power and influence in Gaza. #GantzVsNetanyahu #Hostages #PoliticalAgenda #IsraeliPolitics #NetanyahuCriticism #GantzAccusations #IsraelWarGoals #GazaHostages #NetanyahuFail #MilitaryStrategy #GantzRipsNetanyahu #GazaConflict #IsraelPolitics #HamasRule #IsraeliMilitary Also Read Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Confirms Troop Presence in Syrian Buffer Zone for Security Reasons :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-occupation-buffer-zone-syria-security-011-4018801.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Intensifies Strikes in Lebanon as Netanyahu Promises Strong Response to Hezbollah Violations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/deadly-strikes-israel-lebanon-netanyahu-iron-fist-011-4005657.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Endorses Proposed Ceasefire Agreement with Hezbollah Amid Ongoing Gaza Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-supports-ceasefire-agreement-lebanon-hezbollah-011-3999341.html?ref=DMDesc
