Former Israeli Negotiator Says Gaza Captives Could Have Been Freed Earlier

Original: 🟠 UPDATE Israeli General Claims Gaza Captives Could Have Been Freed Earlier The event is identified as an ex-negotiator,

A former Israeli negotiator, widely described in some reports as a general, has claimed that hostages held in Gaza could have been returned alive roughly a year earlier than they were. The remarks argue that more captives could have come home had a deal been reached sooner, reigniting debate in Israel over missed opportunities in hostage negotiations and the government's handling of the talks.

Why now: The claim directly criticizes the conduct of hostage negotiations, fueling ongoing political controversy in Israel over why the release deals took so long.
