Hostage Mother Threatens Netanyahu: 'I Will Accuse You of Murder'

The mother of an Israeli hostage, Matan Zangauker, held in the Gaza Strip for approximately 23 months, has warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that she will accuse him of murder if her son is not released alive.

Einav Zangauker, a leading figure in the Hostage Families Forum, stated in Tel Aviv that if her son returns dead, she will personally ensure that Netanyahu is charged with murder. Matan Zangauker was abducted on October 7, 2023.

Zangauker also warned that an Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip would be tantamount to executing the hostages. Thousands of protesters are demanding the release of the hostages and an end to the war in Gaza.

Hamas announced that it had accepted a proposal for a 60-day ceasefire, but Israel has not officially responded.

It should be noted that, according to Israel, the body of Idan Stivi was recovered. Currently, 48 hostages remain in the Palestinian enclave, with only 20 believed to be alive.
