Inbal Albini Peri, daughter of an Israeli hostage, criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for prioritizing political interests over a ceasefire and hostage release deal. She expressed disbelief in Netanyahu's assurances and emphasized that her father, Chaim Peri, should have returned alive under any agreement with Hamas.

Despite Netanyahu's claims of efforts to secure the release of hostages, Peri accused him of having different priorities, which she believes contributed to the tragic fate of her father and others. She called for negotiations rather than continued fighting, highlighting the urgency of bringing back remaining hostages.

Following the recovery of her father's body, Peri expressed a mix of closure and frustration, urging the government to focus on securing the release of living hostages instead of risking soldiers' lives in ongoing military operations.
