Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will reportedly hold a security consultation Saturday evening on the topic of returning Israel hostages from captivity, a political source told Walla.

"We must do everything to bring back all the hostages—the living and the fallen alike—home, and to ensure that the regime of the Hamas monsters in Gaza is destroyed and no longer poses a threat to our citizens," Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a Saturday statement. In the post, Katz also mourned the loss of the Bibas brothers and their mother, Shiri, "who were murdered with unparalleled cruelty at the hands of Hamas terrorists and their accomplices."He also called the release of six living hostages "an emotional moment filled with joy."
