Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered Palestinians money and a path to safety in exchange for the release of Israeli hostages during a tour of the Netzarim Corridor in Gaza on Tuesday, November 19.

Footage posted on X shows Netanyahu, accompanied by Defense Minister Israel Katz, offering Palestinians a way to “get out of this maze” by releasing Israeli hostages.

“Whoever brings us a hostage will find a safe way, he and his family, to get out [of Gaza]. We will also give a reward of $5 million for each hostage. You choose, the choice is yours,” Netanyahu said.

Directing a message to those in Gaza who dared harm any hostages, Netanyahu said, “We will chase you, and we will get you.”

The Netzarim Corridor runs the width of Gaza, and the IDF has built a semi-permanent presence there, according to the Times of Israel. Credit: Prime Minister of Israel via Storyful
