Netanyahu Unwilling to Rescue Captives ‘Without Political Benefits’: Report

From the beginning of the war, Israeli ministers have prioritized destroying and ethnically Gaza over winning the release of captives taken by Hamas on 7 October..

On 30 May, Israeli National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi told relatives of Israeli captives held in Gaza that the Netanyahu government would only reach a deal to bring back their loved ones if it provided a political benefit.

“He said that if there is a way in which they can bring about the return of the hostages – it is if polls tell the government that from a political point of view, it will pay off,” Gil Dickmann told Army Radio. Dickmann’s cousin, Carmel Gat, is being held captive by Hamas in Gaza.

One day before, Hanegbi was quoted by Channel 12 as saying the government would not stop the war to free the remaining captives.

On 7 October, as the Hamas operation ... was underway, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich urged the Israeli army to aggressively attack Hamas without regard for the captives...

Israeli media later reported that on 7 October, the army issued the Hannibal Directive, ordering the killing of fellow Israelis to prevent them from being taken back to Gaza as captives by Hamas. [Hamas] sought to take captives to exchange them for some of the thousands of Palestinians held captive in Israeli prisons.

Israeli forces opened fire on Hamas fighters and Israeli civilians alike using heavy weapons from attack helicopters, tanks, and drones.

On top of the support for Hamas, on top of the intelligence failure that allowed the attack, and the possible killing of Israeli citizens, - the lack of regard for the hostages in Hamas’s after the attack was insult to injury for worried family members of victims, or any Israeli citizen who entertained the notion their government cared about them and would do everything to protect them.
