The Spin
Narrative A
Netanyahu is at least partially responsible for the death of Elad Katzir, as he could have been brought back to Israel alive had the government put the lives of hostages ahead of power struggles. If Israel truly wants to rescue hostages, there's no time to waste.
Narrative B
It's concerning, not to say outrageous, that political organizations have, with the complicity and support of some hostage families, hijacked this agenda to try to topple the government. There's no way for Israel to safely bring back its citizens other than to regain control over the Gaza Strip.
