Netanyahu Warns Hamas: Severe Consequences Await Without Release of Israeli Hostages

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has once again issued a stern warning to Hamas, stating that the group will face consequences ‘beyond imagination’ if it fails to release Israeli hostages still held in the Gaza Strip. Speaking during an intense session of the Knesset, Netanyahu emphasized, ‘I say to Hamas: if you do not release our hostages, there will be consequences you cannot fathom.’ The speech occurred amidst a stormy parliamentary meeting where family members of hostages present in the chamber protested against the prime minister before being removed by security personnel. This development comes as the future of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas remains uncertain.
