Israeli Book Details Netanyahu on Hostages
A detailed study from the book "The Hostages: 843 Days of Abandonment" reveals the first hours of the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, during which the military leadership focused on managing the battle and refused to negotiate with Hamas regarding the prisoners. Despite receiving early warnings about kidnapping operations and the transfer of prisoners to Gaza, the priorities remained limited to countering military actions. This resulted in chaos within the leadership and a neglect of accurate information about the number of prisoners, which was estimated at around 14 soldiers and 28 civilians, with communication lost for 169 individuals. These decisions led to the death of Efrat Kats from Israeli helicopter fire and exacerbated the humanitarian and operational crisis. The ongoing refusal to negotiate and the treatment of prisoners solely as either dead or kidnapped further broadened the scope of the war and delayed efforts to rescue the captives.
