'Torpedo the Deal': Israel's Channel 12 News exclusive report features new documents and previously unheard conversations showing Netanyahu's efforts to sabotage any hostage deal
Wednesday night, Channel 12 News' Yaron Avraham, presented a comprehensive report detailing all of the hostage negotiation deals that have been proposed since November, when the last, and only, successful exchange took place.
Presented as a detailed timeline of the last 11 months, the investigation includes never-before-seen documents and previously unheard conversations which highlight Netanyahu's relentless attempts to "Torpedo the Deal," as the segment is titled.
.... Around the same time, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Betzalel Smotritch began speaking out publicly against another cease-fire deal.
Over the next nine months, Avraham reported, Israel's negotiation team was sent on what is ultimately a futile mission to secure another deal that would bring home more hostages. Along the way, the investigation demonstrates, Netanyahu did everything in his power to make sure they are not successful. He repeatedly prevented them from traveling to cease-fire talks, or greatly limited their negotiation powers when they are allowed to go.
He walked back several promises he made, including an agreement to end the war, and invents new "non-starters" that were previously never mentioned. He changed his mind, he denied, and he shifted blame to anyone he possibly can. And throughout all of this, he has ministers like Smotrich and Ben-Gvir threatened to leave his government, if a deal moved forward.
This is where Channel 12's investigation concluded – with images of the list of hostages meant to be returned, should another deal ever come to fruition. On the list are Kfir and Ariel Bibas, the red-headed children whose whereabouts remain unknown, the five female spotters seen in the kidnapping video, as well as the names of dozens of other hostages whose friends and families are hoping that Netanyahu and his coalition will put aside their political agendas and free their loved ones from captivity.
