Netanyahu Links Assad’s Fall to Gaza Hostage Deal

Speaking to families of Israeli hostages, he highlighted Israel’s military actions against Hezbollah and Hamas as factors in weakening Assad’s regime.
Netanyahu stated that Assad’s fall could create opportunities to secure the return of hostages from Gaza. His comments were reported by The Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation.
Escalating Crisis in Gaza
The humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to worsen. Airstrikes have intensified, displacing thousands of civilians. Hospitals face severe challenges due to power cuts, with life-saving medical services at risk.
