Netanyahu says security in Gaza is critical to stop Hamas smuggling hostages into Iran: ‘lost forever’

Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that maintaining security in Gaza is essential in order to inhibit Hamas from smuggling hostages into Iran. He voiced concerns about the possibility of hostages getting ‘lost forever’ if they ever reach Iran. Netanyahu suggests that if this is allowed to happen, recovering these individuals could become next to impossible due to the complexities of international diplomacy and Iran’s resistance to cooperate on such matters. However, it’s essential to note that these claims should be taken in the context of ongoing political unrest and disputes in the region.
