Israeli opposition politician Yair Golan has denounced the government’s efforts to return captives held in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

“575 days of our hostages dying and dying in Gaza,” Golan said in a post on X, referring to reports of Hamas releasing a video of one of the captives held in the besieged enclave.

“It is a moral and national failure that rescue efforts are going through Putin and Trump — and not through the Israeli government. Because there is no longer a government here. There is only one person who holds his seat with all his power,” he added, referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“Where is the Israel we knew? The one that doesn’t abandon the wounded, doesn’t forget prisoners, doesn’t hesitate to act? All must be returned: The kidnapped — for rehabilitation. The dead — for burial. The soldiers and reservists — home.”
