**Netanyahu States Wrong Number of Hostages in Shapiro Interview; Forum Demands Answers**

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently made a statement regarding the number of hostages in captivity during an interview with Ben Shapiro. He said, “What started in Gaza will end in Gaza, with the release of 40 of our hostages, 46 actually,” mistakenly providing an incorrect figure.

This inconsistency has sparked demands for clarification from various forums and concerned parties seeking accurate information about the current situation.
