In addition, the situation of the hostages held by Hamas has also attracted much attention. On the 28th, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with the families of the Israeli hostages. The family members proposed to Netanyahu that they would only accept Israel’s plan to release all Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the release of all hostages. Afterwards, Netanyahu Hu held a press conference and declared that as the Israeli army sent more ground troops into Gaza, “the second phase of the war against Hamas has begun.”
According to “Archyde.com” and “The Times of Israel” reports, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu held a press conference in Tel Aviv on the 28th, stating that as the Israeli army sent more ground troops into Gaza on the evening of the 27th, the “second attack on Hamas” The second phase of the war has begun.” Decisions on ground invasion were made by the Fighter Cabinet in conjunction with the Security Cabinet.
Netanyahu declared that the war will be long and difficult, but they will make every effort to rescue the more than 200 hostages held by Hamas. Netanyahu also said that Israel’s goal is clear, which is to destroy Hamas’s military capabilities and send the hostages home. Netanyahu also said that their troops will make Hamas pay the price for its actions on October 7. On that day, Hamas troops broke into Israel, launched attacks, took hostages, etc., resulting in the death of 1,400 people.
In fact, before Netanyahu held a press conference, he met with the families of the Israeli hostages. According to reports from CNN and BBC, the family members told Netanyahu that they would only accept “everyone for everything.” “Everyone for everyone” agreement, and as Israel’s offensive on the Gaza Strip becomes more and more fierce, they are more and more worried that their relatives will be affected.
The so-called “all for all” agreement means that Israel will release Palestinians held in their prisons in exchange for more than 200 hostages in Gaza. Palestinian non-governmental organizations estimate that there are about 6,630 prisoners held by Israel.
Families said they became anxious about the fate of their loved ones as Israeli forces invaded Gaza, and no one told them whether the ground operations would endanger the safety of the hostages.
Hamas also issued a statement on the 28th, expressing its willingness to carry out this deal and that they were immediately ready to conduct a “comprehensive prisoner exchange” with Israel.

As for Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, he stated at another press conference that Israel had The greater the military pressure on Hamas, the better chance they have of getting Hamas to agree to exchange the hostages.
