Israeli’s Hostages and Missing Families Forum has criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for not mentioning those still being held in Gaza in his recent speech about Lebanon. The Forum expressed disappointment over what they called a 'blatant and total disregard for the existence of the hostages' in Gaza.
In his televised speech, Netanyahu focused on the safe return of residents in the north to their homes, stating, 'We are determined to return our residents in the north safely to their homes.' However, the Forum pointed out that the Prime Minister did not address the issue of the hostages in Gaza.
