Former IDF soldier held captive in Gaza says one of her biggest fears was Israeli strikes

An Israeli soldier released by Hamas during a ceasefire-hostage deal has said one of her biggest fears during captivity were strikes carried out by Israel. It’s “what endangered me more than anything,” Na’ama Levy said. The former hostage’s comments came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier this month that defeating Israel’s enemies is the “supreme objective” and more important than securing the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza.

This initiative mirrors Trump’s January 2025 executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America,” a move that sparked significant domestic and international controversy. The renaming was formalized
