Israel’s Netanyahu heckled inside parliament by families of Hamas captives
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been heckled and booed by the families of captives held by Hamas in Gaza during an address to parliament.
“Now! Now!” the families chanted from the gallery on Monday when Netanyahu promised to bring the captives home but added that he had been told by Israeli field commanders that “more time” was needed.
Israel says 129 captives are still held in Gaza. Three of them were mistakenly killed by Israeli forces this month.
Netanyahu’s address came after his Likud party reported that he visited the Gaza Strip on Monday and promised to ramp up Israel’s assault there.
