Loss of hostages a price IDF 'will accept' to avoid future deaths if Hamas continue

Bondi Partners Senior Advisor Peter McGauran says the “tragic but inevitable” loss of hostages as the IDF presses further into Gaza is a price they “will accept”. Mr McGauran’s comments come as reports confirm Israeli-American hostage Gadi Haggai has become the first US hostage to be killed. “Reluctantly, tragically, and sadly, they will press on to destroy Hamas,” he told Sky News Australia. “The loss of the life of hostages are part of the loss of life of October 7 and the loss of future life if Hamas remain in place. “It is just part of all of the tragedy and uncertainty of the conflict.”
