As soon as the news of the killing of 6 hostages came, lakhs of people in Israel have taken to the streets against Netanyahu and are demanding an agreement with Hamas for the release of the hostages.

Along with domestic pressure, America’s pressure on Netanyahu is also increasing. Despite this, Netanyahu has refused to back down from the war against Hamas and has said that he will not lay down his arms under pressure.
Netanyahu apologized on Monday for not being able to save the hostages. He said that the people who murdered the hostages do not want to make any compromise. Hamas will have to pay a heavy price for what it has done.
