Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a bold statement, vowing to return all hostages held in Gaza “dead or alive.” His remark came amid growing dissatisfaction within Israel following the breakdown of a ceasefire agreement and the resumption of heavy bombardment in the Gaza Strip.

“We will bring them all back. Dead or alive — but we will bring them back,” Netanyahu declared, without clarifying how this phrasing should be interpreted. His words sparked debate even within Israeli society, where families of the hostages are demanding clearer and more responsible positions from the government.

According to sources in Tel Aviv, negotiations for a potential exchange and release of captives are ongoing. However, after the collapse of the truce and renewed shelling, Hamas has hardened its stance. The group announced that all humanitarian mechanisms will be suspended as long as the aggression continues.

Netanyahu’s statement is seen as an attempt to deflect blame amid a wave of criticism against his administration. Politicians and activists accuse him of deliberately sabotaging agreements, thereby endangering the lives of not only Gaza’s civilians but also the hostages themselves.

The rhetoric of Israeli leadership has become increasingly aggressive amid setbacks in the military campaign, growing international isolation, and mounting pressure from human rights groups. Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens, and negotiations remain stalled.
