Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has revealed there is "uncertainty" about the condition of three hostages among the 24 previously thought to be alive in Hamas captivity. While speaking to the media, Netanyahu reaffirmed his assurance that 21 of the hostages are confirmed alive. His remarks follow similar statements from US President Donald Trump, who previously asserted that all 24 hostages were alive but has since revised the figure. Families of the hostages have called on Netanyahu to prioritize negotiations with Hamas rather than escalating military actions in Gaza.
