Disputing Smotrich, ex-hostage pointman says more captives could have come home alive

Nitzan Alon disputes Smotrich's claims about hostage negotiations, stating more captives could have survived if the cabinet had accepted earlier deals. Alon argues the war could have ended at least a year earlier but was prolonged by the cabinet's refusal to pursue comprehensive agreements in favor of 'total victory,' which he calls a falsehood.
