President Isaac Herzog spoke at Hostage Square in Tel Aviv, where he said, "There is not a single Israeli who does not want the hostages home."

The Israeli opposition criticized Netanyahu’s statements during his press conference, where he addressed details of the new IDF Gaza operation and hostage talks.

Lapid, echoing recent criticisms of the plan by Israeli opposition leaders, the IDF chief of staff, and hostage families, said the decision would lead to the deaths of hostages and soldiers.

The Yated Ne’eman newspaper is affiliated with the haredi Lithuanian faction, Degel Hatorah, which forms part of the United Torah Judaism (UTJ) party.
