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 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.
