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.

Massive protests erupted across Israel following the release of a chilling video by Hamas showing captive Israeli soldier Liri Elbag. The footage intensified public outrage, leading to widespread demonstrations calling for a prisoner swap deal. Thousands of protesters took to the streets in cities like Tel Aviv, Al-Quds, and Haifa, demanding Netanyahu's government prioritize the release of captives.
