Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu asks for forgiveness over hostage deaths | BBC News

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he begs "for forgiveness" for not being able to bring home alive six hostages whose bodies were found in Gaza on Saturday.

As he delivered his remarks, protests continued across Israel - including outside the prime minister’s residence - aimed at forcing the government to secure a hostage release deal with Hamas.

Meanwhile, the UK has announced it is suspending some export licences for military equipment to Israel.

40K, most of which are women and children isn't heartbreaking, but 6 hostages dying is very heartbreaking? How does this work? What has this world come to?

[TurtleChad]

When will Bibi be held responsible for the pain he's inflicted on everyone?

[trqster]

Shouldn't he be being judged in the international court of law by now?

[yelleryoung]

He needs to resign and be taken into custody.

No one is giving "forgiveness", it's been 11 months, we want a RESIGNATION.

[Jamuux]

So Israeli citizens still believe that bibi Netanyahu cares about the hostages? This man is benefiting his own political career

[AA-cidv]

He should also apologize for dehumanizing Palestinians in Israeli society to the extent that the majority hate the man, but are fine with the IDF slaughtering babies, children, women and other innocent civilians.

The guy is pure evil. If there was only real justice, he should arrest put on TRIAL put in prison give humanity some peace to heal .

This war criminal needs to be put in jail

[JunGo-eowq]

Your sorry is useless!! If you had acted early for ceasefire then this would not happen!! You are not invincible!! And by the way, the 40 thousand plus Palestinians also need JUSTICE!!!

[AH-hzxc]

He's outdone Ariel Sharon in butchery

[Innocent_Plight]

This serves as a stark reminder of Pharaoh's unyielding arrogance and his response to the various trials and tribulations. His defiance only led to a further deterioration of his situation until his ultimate downfall. The world will never forgive this war criminal who will surely face justice sooner rather than later.

Seriously, the fact the killing of children, children suffering and dying from hunger is not enough to stop a war is just evil. They are the most vulnerable, they can’t protect or defend themselves, their voices are never heard. The killings go on as if they don’t exist. The safety and wellbeing of children should be enough to stop a war but unfortunately it’s not.

[Tao_Tology]

I wonder if he's meaning the hostages killed by IDF missiles.

[baktihidayattullah]

Forgive after butchering 40k+, , , damn sick
