Israeli President Herzog ‘shocked’ hostages in Gaza no longer top priority

Israeli President Isaac Herzog said on Tuesday he was shocked that the issue of hostages being held by Palestinian militants in Gaza was no longer a top priority in the country. “I am quite shocked how suddenly the issue of the hostages is no longer at the top of the priority list and at the top of the news,” Mr Herzog said in a video issued by his office, adding it was important to keep working towards “bringing the hostages home, down to the last one”.
