Families of Hostages Demand Investigation into Leaks Affecting Negotiations
The Families Forum, a group representing relatives of hostages held in Gaza since October 7, 2023, is calling for an inquiry into a recent leak of confidential military documents that may have hindered negotiations for their release. The Israeli court has detained several individuals, including a former aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, over suspicions of leaking sensitive information. The leaked materials allegedly compromised efforts to secure agreements for the release of the 97 hostages, increasing risks for those still being held, particularly with threats from Hamas.
