He called on the families of prisoners held by the Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip to conclude a prisoner exchange deal to save their relatives, despite the confidence expressed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the detainees could be returned in the same or another way.
A relative of the prisoner, Carmel Gat, who was recovered today, according to the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, called for the need to expedite the release of the rest through a deal with the resistance. He said, “There are prisoners who lost their lives in captivity, and we do not have time to wait.” He pointed out that the operation to recover the detainees “succeeded miraculously today, and another may fail tomorrow.”
As soon as Netanyahu ended his press conference, “in which he congratulated the leaders of his security services on what happened in the Nuseirat camp” today, the families of the Israeli prisoners held by the resistance held a press conference in which they demanded the return of the rest of the kidnapped people.
The families of the four prisoners who were recovered today participated in the conference and said, “We realized today that an exchange deal must be concluded quickly,” noting that everything must be done to return the remaining 120 detainees.
The families confirmed that they would continue their “fight” for the return of all detainees. She indicated the necessity of “reaching an exchange deal with Hamas immediately.”
This was followed by the families of the prisoners held by the resistance, who demanded that a deal be concluded with the resistance immediately.
They pointed out that it is not possible to return all the detainees through operations, “so save them, there is no time,” calling for taking advantage of the process to reach a deal to return everyone.
The families said in a statement, “We are close to completing an exchange deal and we must not waste this opportunity,” and that the only way to return all the detainees “is for Israel to stop the war and conclude an exchange deal.”
