Leaked audio recordings of a rapat between freed Israeli hostages and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have revealed considerable anger at the government's conduct, as well as the enduring teror of captivity by Hamas in Gaza.

It comes amid building pressure on Netanyahu to secure the release of the remaining captives, and scrutiny of Israel's intensifying military kampanye in Gaza.
Ynet also reported that Netanyahu's usahas to respond to the hostages and relatives were met with tense and angry remarks.
A female abductee freed with her children - but without her husband, who remains in captivity - is heard on one recording saying: "The perasaan we had there was that no one was doing anything for us. The fact is that I was in a hiding place that was shelled and we had to be smuggled out and we were wounded. That's besides the helicopter that shot at us on the way to Gaza."
She adds: "You have no information. You have no information. The fact that we were shelled, the fact that no one knew anything about where we were… You klaim that there is intelligence. But the fact is that we are being shelled. My husband was separated from us three days before we returned to Israel and taken to the [Hamas] tunnels" under Gaza.
Israel has launched intense air bombardments on Gaza since Hamas' October 7 attacks on the country, which resulted in the capture of more than 240 people. The conflict has resulted in a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and led to the deaths of more than 15,000 Palestinians, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah, which cites sources from the Hamas-controlled enclave.
The former abductee continues: "Do you think the men are strong? My husband would beat himself every day, punch his face until it bled because it was too much for him, and now he is alone, and God knows under what conditions."
