Amid new photos, families of Israel hostage soldiers plead for deal

Facing mounting international and domestic criticism, Netanyahu is set to speak to a joint meeting of the US Congress on July 24 and to meet President Joe Biden. The families released new pictures of the detainees to increase pressure on Netanyahu. "Prime Minister, we are begging, we are asking you, please make the deal happen. It can be before the Congress, it can be during the Congress while you're giving your speech, but the deal must happen now," said Sasha Ariev, the 24-year-old sister of 19-year-old hostage Karina Ariev.
