Benjamin Netanyahu asks for forgiveness as Israel protests, families mourn killed hostages

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he asked for forgiveness from some families of Oct. 7, 2023, hostages held in Gaza by Hamas after they were killed in captivity. This comes as Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin's funeral occurred in Jerusalem. CBS News contributor Robert Berger has more.

40K, most of which are women and children isn’t heartbreaking, but 6 hostages dying is very heart breaking. What has this world come to?

Every death is truly horrible. But the lack of context in this is even more horrifying. And the over 40 000 dead in Gaza. Who mourns them? Who remembers them. This is such a skewed narrative, and a black stain on humanity. Who's life is worth more or less. Shame on us all.

Palestinian families dont get press conferences.

[MilesTegg-jqnn]

This is not an apology. It is not. He has made no attempt for a cease fire. Instead he is doubling down on increasing the erhnic cleansing in Gaza.

I don't think it's anti Semitic to say Netanyahu is a madman.

[raymc]

He's not striking no deal. He hasn't forget about those corruption charges

[BoundariesMaintained]

Like he actually gives a damn about the people he’s killed.

Give me a break!

Americans deserve their money not Israel

[poplife]

He's has been the architect of so much suffering and dares to ask for forgiveness.... there's a special place in hell for this monster

[-Luka-Brazi]

He says 6 lives were extinguished by “Monstrous Cruel Hands”…after he just finished killing over 40, 000 civilians. Is he myopic or insane?

Please 🙏 🙏 stopped this war!! God is Great!!!

[earthpearl]

It’s believed that Israel’s priority has not been to obtain a hostage release and there’s even a willingness to sacrifice them. Also Netanyahu is seen as wanting to prolong the war bc of his legal issues and unpopularity among Israeli citizens

[ZakWayne]

I wonder if it was the indiscriminate shelling of the area…

[krystoferbelknap]

Wow, this guy can really describe the heartbreak of death for people... It's too bad that this "empathy" is limited to anyone who can be used as a political advancement in his ruthless genocide.

[isaacjohnson]

if they really cared the US would stop sending weapons.

[RandyRiver]

For some reason I don’t believe it was hamas that killed them. There’s a part of me that thinks Netanyahu probably sent an air strike and accidentally killed his own and now he’s trying to cover it up just he did when the first air strike he sent into Gaza was directed to a hospital and schools. I hope The US don’t take him at his word, he’s a liar and a dictator. He does not have the right to be a leader.

[xzwkiqt]

he doesn't care about these hostage, he only cares for his political surviving

[Alfarojv]

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?

[ryanhall]

His resignation and imprisonment would be a good step forward.

[tlbdaflyguy]

He's gonna end up in a jail cell I believe, he's prolonging this situation to avoid his own crimes of corruption once the pm shield is off him
