Senior officials in the negotiations for the hostage deal shared their pessimism: "In the current dynamics, the negotiations could last another year." Regarding Rafih, they said that there is a chance that abductees will die during the maneuver. In the meantime, the former head of the Shin Bet referred to Yair Netanyahu's security and said that "there is no need for it" Benjamin Netanyahu on the kidnapping deal: "The atmosphere is of a cool spirit from the Prime Minister's office.
The likelihood of a deal without Netanyahu was higher" "I fear that the war will end with many abductees in the status of 'their place of burial is unknown' The time for the abductees is already over. Not that it's short, just over. Sold out," said a senior official to Ilana Dayan. "The deal that will happen soon, maybe in a few months, is a deal that we could have done two months ago," said another senior official. "We had the list in hand ourselves, why ask for it from Hamas?" said the source.
