Yinon Magal and Barak Sari discussed the kidnappings today (Sunday) at the beginning of their program on 103FM radio. Each of the two explained their views on the subject and explained the difficulties and obstacles on the way to a deal.
Jerusalem wants mountain air: These are the vehicles that are banned from entering the city
Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir addressed the issue of the hostages in the Gaza Strip today, and expressed firm opposition to deals that include the release of terrorists, especially those he calls "a reckless deal." According to him, the release of numerous terrorists of the type in question would seriously harm Israel's security.
Sari was indignant: "It is impossible to understand why an agreement is not being signed in the south. Considerations other than business are guiding the government, and the fact that the war in the south continues. Idan Alexander in the video that was allowed to be broadcast by the family, I want to play it. Our brothers and sisters, according to what Ron Dermer says, are still in Gaza, at least half of them alive. They must be returned. Yinon, you are an important voice in the Bibi camp, in the prime minister's circle, so if you were more assertive, it is possible that our brothers and sisters would return.
""The reason Netanyahu ended the war against Hezbollah and didn't end it in Gaza: Political! Political! Explosive! Netanyahu is afraid of Ben Gvir, of Smotrich. He believes that if they leave the Strip, and withdraw the IDF, and we see buses of terrorists making the V sign, it will dismantle his government.".
He added: "We need to remember that this is a violation of the Jewish ethos. People have been killed since the establishment of the state to bring captives home. All these things that you have forgotten, all these things are meant to remind us that when we hear videos of live abductees, everything needs to be done quickly.".
Yinon responded. "What do you think, Siri? If you pressure me or Netanyahu, will it bring back the kidnapped faster? What about your jealousy and lust? Enough with the nonsense. You are only hurting them. We saw what Sinwar and his people are writing in the tunnels, you are encouraging them.
""They see that Hezbollah has surrendered, Iran has surrendered. And instead of strengthening the Israeli side, you are confusing and distracting - you are strengthening the enemy. You are only doing harm.".
""All the enemy networks are echoing the rumor that we are carrying out ethnic cleansing. You are harming Israel during a time of war. Shut up already," Magal asked all the critics who, in his opinion, are interfering with the conduct of the war.
Yinon later sharply attacked the former defense minister and chief of staff over his comments that there was ethnic cleansing in the Gaza Strip. "Boogie, we are not doing ethnic cleansing, we are evacuating civilians from a combat zone. Why are you suffocating in The Hague?" Yinon wondered.
