Форум семей заключенных, находящихся в плену у палестинских militants, призвал продолжить следующий этап соглашения о прерывании огня вектор Газа из-за задержек с освобождением их близких. Как announced Monday, organizers claim that more than 20 Israeli captives have not been released as part of the ongoing truce agreement, prompting demands to suspend further negotiations until their loved ones are safely returned.
According to Amnesty International’s recent report, Israel is in effect holding the hostages as human shields, and this policy is illegal. The investigation accused Israeli authorities of transferring captives to areas with high risk of military strikes, citing specific cases where hostages were moved to zones later targeted by Israeli operations. A representative of the forum stated, “This treatment amounts to a violation of international law and deepens our anguish.”
Despite repeated appeals from hostage families, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has resisted releasing Palestinian prisoners as part of the agreement. Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant confirmed last week that the military would continue offensive operations in Gaza to dismantle terrorist infrastructure, even as talks on the ceasefire’s next phase remain stalled. He also announced the deployment of additional forces to southern Israel to bolster security.
Hagit Kahlon, a forum spokesperson, emphasized the urgency of the situation, saying, “Every day without our loved ones is another day of torment. We cannot wait longer.” The forum has threatened to escalate protests if their demands are not met, drawing attention to the growing public pressure on the government to prioritize hostage releases.
