Hostage condition raises pressure on Netanyahu as ceasefire negotiations continue
Three Israeli hostages released by Hamas appeared frail, raising concerns about their treatment in captivity. This has intensified pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to secure the release of remaining hostages amid ongoing negotiations. In a recent exchange, Hamas freed three hostages while Israel released 183 Palestinian prisoners. The condition of the hostages has sparked anger among Israelis, with some families demanding quicker action from Netanyahu. Netanyahu is facing criticism from both the public and coalition members. Some far-right officials oppose extending the ceasefire, complicating his efforts to balance political support while addressing public concerns about the hostages' welfare.
