Meeting with the head of the International Red Cross, Netanyahu slammed the ‘”unbelievable cruelty” with which Hamas is treating captive Israelis. In addition, Hamas is believed to be holding three Israeli civilians who scaled a border fence and entered Gaza. Hamas Gives No Information on CaptivesWhile visiting Gaza and meeting with Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar earlier this week, Maurer was denied his request to meet with the Israeli captives. Netanyahu said that Israel has sought information about its missing citizens, only to be rebuffed by Hamas. There have reportedly been secret negotiations between Israel and Hamas to reach a deal on the issue.
