On Saturday, families of Israelis held hostage by Hamas met with Benjamin Netanyahu, urging him to halt strikes that could jeopardize their loved ones. The families are calling on Israel to exchange thousands of Palestinian prisoners for the more than 200 Israelis believed to be in Hamas’s custody in Gaza. Meanwhile, Netanyahu has apologized after he published — and later deleted — a social media post blaming defense and intelligence officials for failing to warn him ahead of Hamas’s deadly attack on October 7.
