Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Sheba Hospital in Ramat Gan, near Tel Aviv, to meet with rescued hostages and their families. During a news conference, Netanyahu celebrated with Noa Argamani and her family, including her father Yaakov, who coincidentally was celebrating his birthday. Yaakov expressed that he received the best gift he could ever expect.
Netanyahu also had the opportunity to meet with another rescued captive, Andrey Kozlov. Kozlov shared with the prime minister that during his captivity, he maintained a notebook where he would write one line each day, emphasizing the value of every day as a gift.
Netanyahu assured that Israel is dedicated to bringing back the remaining hostages in Gaza. He emphasized that the Israeli government anticipates Hamas to release all hostages, but if they fail to do so, Israel is prepared to take any necessary actions to ensure the safe return of all individuals.
