December 8, 2024   

Zvika Mor, the father of Eitan, who was kidnapped in Gaza and a member of the Tikva Forum, participated today (Sunday) in a meeting of representatives of the families of the kidnapped with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Upon leaving the meeting, he said that the main demand is to return all the kidnapped at once. "We are not prepared to accept a deal in parts, we are not prepared to accept a selection among Jews after the Holocaust, and we do not accept the restitution of our loved ones in installments. We demand that the Prime Minister act through the security forces so that they force Hamas to return all the kidnapped at once." He added: "The necessary steps must be taken, including: complete control of our territory and control over humanitarian aid. These two steps can exert significant pressure on Hamas and cause them to surrender. We demand that the Prime Minister take these actions as quickly as possible, so that all the kidnapped return home before the Hanukkah holiday." Earlier, Sharon Sharabi, brother of Eli Sharabi, who was kidnapped from Kibbutz Be'eri, and Yossi Sharabi, the late, who was kidnapped from Kibbutz Be'eri and murdered in Hamas captivity, said: "This was a very important meeting, in which we sought to convey clear messages at this critical time, as well as to receive a direct update on the status of the negotiations and the date of the return of our loved ones home. The Prime Minister said that the time is ripe for a deal. We called on him to act to release all the abductees, as their humanitarian situation requires it. According to the Prime Minister, the return of the abductees will only take place as part of a comprehensive deal." He noted that "the Prime Minister said that he was ready for a ceasefire in order to advance the deal, and noted that what worked in the north could also work in the south. He promised that no political or coalition considerations would be considered on this issue, and expressed optimism about the possibility of reaching an agreement. "Netanyahu noted that there are a number of key outlines within the complex negotiations, but at this stage no specific outline for the return of the kidnapped has been presented to us. At the same time, he said there is significant progress in the ability to reach an agreement with Hamas. We expect that meetings with the Prime Minister will become much more frequent, and that we will not have to wait much longer." Lishi Miran, the wife of Omri, who was kidnapped in Gaza, added: "I ended the meeting with the Prime Minister with a simple but profound statement: The entire people of Israel should witness that we are talking about our children, about the future of our country, and about the values ​​on which it is founded. The question is what kind of country do we want to bequeath to our children. "I asked the Prime Minister, and I implored him, that every night before he goes to sleep and every morning when he wakes up - that he see before his eyes Roni Shelly and Alma Shelly. Two girls who are in an unimaginable situation, like other children in the same difficult reality. He needs to sleep with them, he needs to get up with them, and for them we need to act. We must return them to us." The Prime Minister's Office announced that Netanyahu said at the meeting that the fall of the Assad regime, which also occurred due to our determined actions against Hezbollah and Hamas, could help advance a deal to return the kidnapped.
