NewzRetired Israeli General Nitzan Alon stated that the ongoing war in Gaza could have concluded and all captives could have been returned significantly sooner. Speaking at a Washington Institute forum, Alon suggested that a deal to secure the release of hostages was viable approximately one year earlier than the present time.
These remarks highlight internal criticism regarding the management of the hostage crisis and the duration of the conflict. By asserting that a diplomatic resolution was achievable at an earlier stage, the former negotiator points to missed opportunities in the negotiation process that might have prevented the loss of additional lives among those held in Gaza.
