'Sinwar killed peace': Grandson of Israeli hostages urges 'to work back towards path' to peace

As it grinds on well into its twenty-second month, Israel's war in Gaza has set friends and families against one another and sharpened existing political and cultural divides. Hostage families and peace activists want Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government to secure a ceasefire with Hamas and free the remaining captives abducted during the October 2023 Hamas attacks. Right-wing members of Netanyahu's cabinet, meanwhile, want to seize the moment to occupy and annex more Palestinian land, at the risk of sparking further international criticism.

For a deeper understanding and intimate perspective, FRANCE 24's Delano D'Souza welcomes Daniel Lifshitz, Grandson of Israeli hostages who were lifelong peace activists.
