Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold a press conference hours before going into surgery under full anesthesia. In his statement, Netanyahu is expected to engage in efforts to reach a deal for the release of the abductees.
He will also address his medical condition following the hernia that was discovered in his body during a routine examination yesterday. In the meantime, the families of the abducted soldiers made a dramatic statement to the media last night. They pointed an accusing finger at Prime Minister Netanyahu and claimed that he separates abductee deals due to political considerations.
