# Families of Israeli hostages still being held by Hamas say Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the “one obstacle” preventing their return and reaching a peace deal. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum said on social media Israel’s strike on Qatar last week shows every time a deal approaches, Netanyahu sabotages it. On Saturday, Netanyahu said getting rid of Hamas leaders in Qatar “would rid the main obstacle” to releasing the hostages and ending the war. However, families of the hostages described the Israeli leader’s response as the latest excuse for failing to bring home their loved ones.
Netanyahu is only obstacle to bringing hostages home, families say
