Israel-Palestine war: Israel prime minister Netanyahu putting politics before deal, hostage's daughter says
The daughter of one of the six Israeli hostages whose bodies were brought back from Gaza by Israel’s military on Tuesday has accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of putting “political priorities” ahead of a ceasefire and hostage release deal.
Inbal Albini Peri told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that her 80-year-old father Chaim and his friends would have been among the first people freed under any agreement with Hamas and that they “should have come back alive”.
Mr Netanyahu has insisted he is making every effort to bring back all of the remaining hostages kidnapped during Hamas’s 7 October attack.
But Ms Albini Peri said: “I don’t believe a word he is saying.”
“I want him to say to my family and all the other families: ‘I’m sorry. I was wrong."
