Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced a groundbreaking initiative to secure the release of hostages held in Gaza. He has offered up to $5 million in cash rewards for every hostage returned safely. This offer, directed specifically toward residents of Gaza who may facilitate these releases, reflects an unprecedented move amidst the escalating tensions following the October 7 Hamas-led attacks on Israel.
This financial incentive is seen as part of Israel’s broader efforts to recover over 200 individuals reportedly kidnapped during the violence. Netanyahu emphasized that any information or action leading to the safe return of captives would be generously rewarded, signaling the lengths his administration is willing to go to resolve the humanitarian crisis.
