💨 Abstract

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that recent military operations in Iran have opened "many opportunities," including the possibility of securing the release of hostages still held in Gaza. Speaking during a visit to a Shin Bet facility, he suggested a shift in Israel's priorities, emphasizing the return of hostages over defeating Hamas, a change from his previous stance. Families of the hostages, political opponents, and the public have criticized Netanyahu for not clearly prioritizing the hostages' return.
