Israeli Official: Military Pressure Essential for Hostage Return from Gaza

Israeli Stance on Hostage Situation

Israel remains committed to applying military pressure on Hamas to secure the return of hostages from Gaza. A senior adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized that ongoing strikes against Hamas targets are crucial in this effort. As European nations urge for a ceasefire and increased humanitarian aid access, Israel’s military strategy continues to prioritize the safe return of its citizens.

Despite international calls for a ceasefire, Israel insists that military action is necessary to pressure Hamas. The government believes that without ongoing operations, the chances of retrieving hostages diminish.
