โจThe newspapers report on a crisis in hostage negotiations, with Hamas's response pushing talks backward. Israel reportedly offered to release 120 Palestinian life-sentence prisoners, 1,110 Gazans, and 160 Palestinian bodies, but is expected to reject Hamas's counter-offer with American backing (13tv). Meanwhile, hostage families continue their protest, questioning why more Israelis aren't demonstrating (Davar, Kan, Ynet). Natali Tsengauker, sister of hostage Matan, directly appealed to Netanyahu: "Save me from discovering what bereavement is" (Ynet). In political news, there's discussion about potential prime ministerial candidates including Gantz, Lapid, and Eisenkot (Haaretz), while internationally, an Israeli faced antisemitic harassment in Dublin (Jerusalem Post).
