Netanyahu’s Urgent Request

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made a critical appeal to the Red Cross. He called for assistance in delivering much-needed food and medical care to hostages held in Gaza. This request comes on the heels of increased public outrage over disturbing videos depicting two malnourished Israeli captives. Netanyahu accused Hamas of resisting a ceasefire agreement, escalating fears of a broader conflict.
