Netanyahu Advisor Tells Hostage Families He Doesn’t Think There Will Be a Deal To Free Their Relatives

Tzachi Hanegbi said in a contentious meeting that the government isn't willing to end its military operations in Gaza to free the hostages

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s national security advisor, Tzachi Hanegbi, told family members of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza that he doesn’t think there will be a comprehensive deal to free all of their relatives.

Hanegbi said that the initial “humanitarian” part of a deal that’s been discussed could be reached within a few months, which could result in the release of some of the hostages. But he added that the Netanyahu government was not willing to end its military operations in Gaza to free all the hostages. Hamas’s main demand to release all the hostages has been a permanent ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal.

“The first stage of the deal, the humanitarian phase, we will be able to achieve within a few short months. It won’t take many months and not years,” Hanegbi said, according to a report from Israel’s Channel 12. “I don’t believe that this government will succeed in completing the entire deal. This government will not take a decision on stopping the war for the return of all the hostages. We have to keep fighting in order that there won’t be another October 7 in October 2027.”

Hanegbi said that there was no plan B if the hostages were not released within a few months. “We will continue to fight in Gaza and in the north, and only then will we reassess,” he said.

According to Haaretz, a participant in the meeting reportedly asked, “So, we’re lost?” and Hanegbi replied in the affirmative.

Netanyahu has made clear that the hostages were not his priority and that even if all of them were freed, he would continue the genocidal campaign in Gaza to “eradicate” Hamas, a goal the US does not think is realistic. Haaretz reported back in March that Israel believes only 60 to 70 of the 134 remaining hostages in Gaza were alive, and a source said they feared the number could be even lower.
