Maj. Gen. Nitzan Alon, formerly responsible for the hostages portfolio, said on Friday that Israel could have secured the release of all remaining Gaza hostages a year before they were actually freed in late 2025. He attributed the delay to 'political and personal considerations' rather than circumstances on the ground, a striking accusation aimed at Israel's leadership over the prolonged captivity of hostages.

Why now: His claim that political motives, not necessity, delayed the hostage deal is a serious indictment of the Israeli government and fuels ongoing public anger.
