The Bring Them Home Now campaign, comprising families of the Israeli captives held in Gaza, has called on Netanyahu to grant the negotiating team a “full mandate” to secure the return of all captives at the same time, Al Jazeera reports.

“There is an absolute majority of the people who demand the return of all the abductees in one fell swoop, above all else. The testimonies of the returnees leave no doubt — the abductees are running out of time,” the campaign wrote on X.

“In the last breath, hostages who were alive and who we were able to save were returned. Dragging feet in negotiations will cost the lives of additional hostages and the loss of the ability to return the dead for burial and close the circle for their families,” the group added.
