HOSTAGES/CEASE-FIRE: In response to reports of Hamas leader Sinwar's death, Einav Zangauker, mother of hostage Matan Zangauker, said that now, more than ever, the lives of her son and the rest of the hostages are in danger, adding that "If Netanyahu does not take advantage of the momentum and does not stand up now and take a new Israeli initiative, even at the cost of ending the war, it means that he has decided to abandon my Matan and the other hostages, with the aim of prolonging the war and fortifying his rule."
The Hostage and Missing Families Forum issued a statement calling on "the Israeli government, world leaders, and mediating countries to leverage the military achievement into a diplomatic one by pursuing an immediate agreement for the release of all 101 hostages: the living for rehabilitation and the murdered for proper burial."
