Qaid Farhan Alkadi spoke of the gut-wrenching loss of another captive, Aryeh Zalmanovich, 86, who died next to him.
“There’s a story, a narrative out there that there’s a deal out there,” the prime minister said. “Hamas has consistently said no to every one of them.”
“I am in continuous contact with the other American families and all levels of the U.S. government. There is nothing behind this report,” Jonathan Dekel-Chen said.
While Hamas is showing signs of limited resurgence, its new recruits are essentially “cannon fodder,” observers tell JNS.
The Security Council held its first meeting dedicated to the hostages’ plight since their capture by Hamas on Oct. 7.
“If, after Oct. 7, and after seeing the implications of military buildup, we don’t insist on this, then it essentially means Israel can be forced to fold on any issue.”
The Hapoel Jerusalem team joined the funeral procession of longtime fan Hersh Goldberg-Polin, one of six hostages executed by Hamas in Gaza.
The command and control center was targeted in a precision strike in the Deir al-Balah area to remove an immediate threat.
Hamas’s execution of six hostages has “called into question Hamas’s readiness to do a deal of any kind,” the senior official said.
The 21-year-old left-wing environmental activist previously accused Israel of genocide.
The Iraqi-based Global Imams Council called the executions, carried out in a tunnel under Rafah in southern Israel, “barbaric” and “a violation all principles of humanity, religious teachings, and international law.”
“The indictment filed in the United States is based, among other things, on evidence compiled in Israel and given to the American investigators, while 11 months have passed and there are no indictments” in Israel, said a police source.
