Israeli Book Details Netanyahu's Early War Prisoner Handling
The first chapter of the book "The Hostages: 843 Days of Abandonment" by Israeli journalists Shlomi Eldar and Ruti Yufa concludes that Israeli leadership received information from the beginning of the war on October 7, 2023, about the kidnapping of soldiers and civilians and their transfer to the Gaza Strip. However, they focused on managing the military campaign and refused to negotiate with Hamas. The military headquarters in Tel Aviv experienced chaos, and reports confirmed that military operations relied on instructions to prevent the freeing of the hostages, even if it meant risking their lives. There was also a persistent effort to prevent vehicles from returning to Gaza, as they were believed to contain prisoners. By the end of the day, approximately 3,164 individuals were unaccounted for, with no knowledge of the fate of those held. The number of kidnapped and missing persons totaled dozens, and the leadership reiterated the stance against negotiations with Hamas, emphasizing a security military approach.
