Netanyahu to Hold Security Talks After Hamas Agreement Breach
Jerusalem, October 28, 2025 —
The Prime Minister’s Office announced on Tuesday that remains of fallen hostage Ofir Tzarfati were identified this morning. Authorities confirmed that Hamas returned the remains last night, violating a previous agreement. The Israeli government has informed his family about the discovery.
Officials described the act as a serious breach of trust and a clear violation of commitments made by the militant group.
Netanyahu Calls Urgent Security Meeting
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with senior defense officials to decide Israel’s response. The security chiefs will present options for action during the meeting.
Government sources said Netanyahu wants a firm yet calculated response that reinforces Israel’s commitment to national security.
