Hamas is not subjected to public pressure on the issue of hostages. The President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Mirjana Spoljaric, told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv.
"The more public pressure we put on it, the more they will close the door," he said. Spoliarich spoke after Netanyahu insisted that the ICRC could do much more than is being done for the 135 hostages held captive in Gaza.
