In his press conference this evening Netanyahu said that Israelis “overwhelmingly” agree with his position to prioritize staying in the Philadelphi Corridor over a hostage deal. However poll after poll show this isn’t the case. Latest one shows 53-29 against Netanyahu’s position

💥Despairing of Netanyahu, families of US hostages asked the Biden administration to make a separate deal with Hamas, excluding Israel. US official told @NBC a unilateral deal is unlikely– but US has compiled list of prisoners whose release might interest nbcnews.com/investigations…

💥Total denial of NBC story from Jonathan Dekel-Chen, whose son was kidnapped from Nir Oz on October 7. "I am in continuous contact with the other American families and all levels of the US government. There is nothing to this report."

💥More from presser •Netanyahu: "Do you know when they started giving us hostages? When we entered Philadelphi, when we entered Rafah." •Fact check: The hostage release deal occurred in November-December 2023. The IDF entered Rafah in May 2024.

💥For the 2nd time in 48 hours, Netanyahu forgets the date of the massacre of October 7. Imagine George Bush, lets say in mid-2002, forgetting the date of September 11. Netanyahu just can't keep it straight.

💥🧵United States Ambassador Jack Lew: "After this weekend we must understand that time is of the essence: that these lives won't be left to be saved if we wait too long."

💥Just dumb luck for Netanyahu.

💥"It's overwhelming to hear her voice… It's painful to realize we could have saved her. She could have been here with us. The decision to delay a deal sentenced her to death." @GilDickmann, cousin of Carmel Gat.

💥Itzik Horn, father of hostages Eitan and Yair Horn: "The government's decision on Philadelphi is a death sentence for the hostages."

💥Itzik Horn, padre de los rehenes israelí argentinos Eitan y Yair Horn: "La decisión que tomó el Gobierno sobre la linea Philadelphi implica una pena de muerte para los rehenes".

💥Tel Aviv, a cortège of hostage's families & fellow protesters carrying 27 coffins for the 27 hostages kidnapped alive & murdered in Hamas captivity. (Adar Eyal)

💥Tel Aviv, now (Or-ly Barlev 🎗 אור-לי ברלב)

💥Hersh Goldberg-Polin is gone but is also everywhere, in front of @SalEmergui at the Tel Aviv rally and in front of me in the neighborhood in Jerusalem.

💥Tel Aviv, 6th night in a row. It's getting hot and heavy with police, and one officer jostled hadas grinberg while she was reporting live.

💥Tonight Hamas has released its pre-execution video of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, in English, clearly under severe duress.
