Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is back in Israel after a visit to Washington where he discussed a radical Gaza plan proposed by US President Donald Trump. The nation is at a critical juncture, with the looming question of whether Israel will return to war in Gaza or uphold the ceasefire that is set to expire in just over two weeks.
During Netanyahu's absence, three Israeli hostages were released from Hamas captivity, revealing their emaciated and traumatized state. The images of the skeletal figures led to immediate comparisons to Holocaust survivors, sparking a debate within Israeli society about the lessons of the past.
