On June 8, Israeli forces rescued 4 hostages from the Nuseirat camp in the central part of the Gaza Strip, including 27-year-old Kozlov. Following his rescue, Kozlov urged the public to hold more protests to pressure the government to prioritize hostage rescue. Scholars note that the right-wing government's failure to prioritize hostages and Kozlov's call for more protests following the IDF's rescue undoubtedly deepen Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's dilemma. Kozlov, who was held by Hamas for 8 months until his rescue on June 8, emphasizes the difficulty of rescuing remaining hostages. Hassan Barari, an international affairs scholar, highlights the challenge of locating and rescuing the hostages in Gaza despite Israel's significant control over the area.
