Israeli families in Gaza issued a statement on Saturday night calling on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the war and return the hostages by accepting the offer of a ceasefire and immediate negotiations.
The families have urged Netanyahu to immediately send a team to negotiate an end to the war and return prisoners to Gaza.
The statement referred to Hamas’s positive response to the mediation plan and criticized the Netanyahu government’s lack of response to the proposal.
Families have stressed that Netanyahu’s survival in power should not prioritize the vital importance of repatriating prisoners and preventing further deaths.
In conclusion, the families of the prisoners have asked the Netanyahu government to accept the agreement that Hamas has agreed to and immediately enter into negotiations.
The statement comes as indirect talks between Israel and Hamas continue with Qatar and Egypt mediating a ceasefire and prisoner exchange.
