Netanyahu offers $5 million reward for hostages during Gaza visit

economictimes.indiatimes.com November 20, 2024, 08:01 AM UTC

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a $5 million reward for each hostage returned from Gaza during a visit to the region. He urged those holding captives to release them in exchange for safe passage and warned of severe consequences for harming hostages. Netanyahu emphasized Israel's military progress in dismantling Hamas's control in Gaza. He stated that the military operations aim to eliminate Hamas's governing capabilities, reinforcing Israel's commitment to protecting its citizens and ensuring the return of hostages. The announcement of the reward marks a shift in Israel's strategy amid stalled ceasefire negotiations and rising casualties in Gaza. This development highlights the urgency of the hostage crisis as families seek resolution while military and diplomatic efforts continue.
