Benjamin Netanyahu: “Out of 255 hostages, we got 205 out of which 148 are alive.”

“And I disagree. I said, we'll get most and possibly all of them if we apply judiciously both military pressure and political, diplomatic pressure. So far, Out of 255 hostages, we got 205 out of which 148 are alive. 148 are alive. We have 20 living ones left in the Hamas captivity and 30 who are not alive. As I said before, if we don't do anything, we're not going to get them out.” (16:04–16:11)
