This is inclusing Israel American lady remember her Netanyahu has expressed sorrow over the deaths of the hostages, saying the killings prove that Hamas does not want a cease-fire deal. He accused Hamas of killing them in “cold blood” and said Israel would hold the Palestinian militant group accountable. Israel on Sunday said it had recovered the bodies of six hostages during an operation in the Gaza Strip. The military said all six had been killed shortly before the arrival of Israeli forces. Their recovery sparked calls for mass protests against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom many families of hostages and the Israeli public blame for failing to strike a deal with Hamas to end the ongoing war and bring the hostages back alive. Negotiations over such a deal have dragged on for month. www.euronews.com/2024/09/01/netanyahu-says-hamas-does-not-want-a-cease-fire-deal-following-death-of-six-hostages

Of course Israel hostage family are not happy with both side Families of hostages call for nationwide protests in Israel An umbrella group representing the families of Israeli captives in Gaza called for a massive protest on Sunday. The Hostages Families Forum called for a countrywide protest demanding a "complete halt of the country" to pressure the Israeli government to agree to a cease-fire deal and ensure the release of the remaining hostages from Gaza. "A deal for the return of the hostages has been on the table for over two months. Were it not for the delays, sabotage, and excuses, those whose deaths we learned about this morning would likely still be alive. It's time to bring our hostages home," it said. "The Hostages Families Forum demands that Prime Minister Netanyahu address the nation and take responsibility for abandoning the hostages," it added. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-union-calls-strike-after-hostage-deaths/live-70102905
