Ex-IDF hostage chief says Gaza war could have ended a year sooner
A former head of the Israeli military's hostage negotiation unit says the Gaza war could have ended roughly a year earlier than it did. His remarks imply missed opportunities in ceasefire and hostage-release negotiations, a criticism likely to fuel ongoing Israeli political disputes over the government's conduct of the war and the length of time hostages remained in captivity.
Why now: The claim directly criticises how Israeli decision-making prolonged the war and delayed hostages' release.
