Family members of hostages held in Gaza are urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to approve a phased ceasefire and hostage release deal that was recently accepted by Hamas. Speaking outside military headquarters in Tel Aviv, Einav Zangauker, mother of hostage Matan Zangauker, emphasized that signing the deal could pave the way for negotiations to secure the release of remaining captives and potentially end the ongoing conflict. She warned that any military offensive on Gaza City would jeopardize the agreement and accused Netanyahu of hindering progress while blaming Hamas. Yehuda Cohen, father of hostage soldier Nimrod Cohen, also called on international leaders to press Netanyahu to accept the deal, cautioning that further delays could result in more loss of life.
