TL;DR

Nitzan Alon, just after concluding his role as head of the Hostages and Missing Persons Command, launched a sharp attack on the political leadership. He says the political echelon rejected earlier and more comprehensive deals in the name of 'total victory' which he calls a falsehood, according to Amit Segal (N12).

01 · THE DISPATCH

In a pointed post-tenure statement, outgoing Hostages Command head Nitzan Alon accused Israel's political leadership of rejecting earlier and more comprehensive deals during the course of the hostage crisis, under what he described as a false banner of 'total victory.' The remarks, reported by N12's Amit Segal on Wednesday around 10:53 Jerusalem time, mark a rare public break from a senior military figure whose role placed him at the center of the hostage negotiations. No details were provided on which specific deals Alon referred to. The Zioneer has not yet independently confirmed the context of those alleged rejected proposals.
