captive

Wadephul appealed to the Israeli government to instead return “to the path of negotiations for a ceasefire and an agreement” on the release of captives held in Gaza.

They wanted a captive audience for long enough to lay out their case for change.

In a statement on Friday, Ms Heraty's family confirmed she, alongside the other captives had been freed and thanked those involved in her recovery.

Or, more accurately, for the two men holding her captive to shave it for her.

Netanyahu is also facing intense pressure in Israel - particularly from the families of hostages who want him to negotiate an end to the war in order to bring their captive relatives home.
