| Tens of thousands claimed at rallies for Hamas ceasefire deal across Israel |
| 2025-08-31 |
| [IsraelTimes] Tens of thousands took to the streets across Israel on Saturday night …or at least thousands — those who count are prone to exaggeration… to call on the government to urgently agree to a ceasefire deal for the release of the hostages held by terror groups in Gaza, a day after security services announced they had recovered the bodies of two captives from the Strip.On Friday, the IDF and Shin Bet said they recovered the body of slain hostage Ilan Weiss and the remains of a second hostage, who was identified Saturday as Idan Shtivi, both killed during Hamas’s October 7, 2023, onslaught in southern Israel. Marking the one-year anniversary of the murder of six hostages by their Hamas captors as Israeli troops neared, hostages’ families urged the government to abort its plans to conquer Gaza City, arguing that military pressure only endangers the captives. Before the main rallies in Tel Aviv, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum stated: “As plans move forward to conquer Gaza City, a hostage deal remains stalled at the negotiating table – serving as a painful reminder of last year’s lesson: military pressure kills hostages.” The statement referenced the killing of Alexander Lobanov, Carmel Gat, Ori Danino, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Eden Yerushalmi and Almog Sarusi by their Hamas captors last year. Yes, but given that lack of military pressure also kills hostages, Israel might as well make life intolerable for Hamas and those who voted for them while making it ever more difficult for them to reprise 10/7 with a new collection of hostages, you selfish, short-sighted, venal cowards. Someday you, too will give thanks to God for having given Israel Bibi despite you. |
