Haaretz newspaper said that the Israeli government has adhered to a line it adopted from the beginning, according to which it believes that military pressure will facilitate the deal to return Israeli detainees held by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), but evidence refute this day after day.
The Israeli newspaper alerted – in its editorial – to the death of three detainees a few days ago, and to the threat to the life of a fourth detainee, stressing that the horrific feelings of fear and anxiety that the families of the detainees have towards their loved ones are completely justified, and that the delay in reaching an agreement means an increase in the number of deaths among the detainees.
She said that Defense Minister Yoav Galant told the families of the detainees that “there are preliminary indications that access to Hamas’s most sensitive sites brings the war’s goals closer to achieving the goals of the war,” but the “tragic events” that occurred this week proved that Hamas is far from feeling defeated.
In this regard, Haaretz noted that Hamas rejected – according to an Egyptian source – Israel’s proposal for a two-month ceasefire and the release of its imprisoned Palestinians on the condition that Hamas leaders in the Gaza Strip be transferred to other places, all in exchange for the release of all Israeli detainees.
And here, according to the newspaper, member of the mini-war council, Minister Gadi Eisenkot, shatters the illusion that Netanyahu and his supporters are trying to sell to the Israeli public that the Israeli army is in the process of liberating the hostages through a military operation, and said, “The hostages are scattered underground, which makes it possible to carry out an operation similar to Entebbe.” “Very low.”
The newspaper indicated that the time Has come To stop presenting lies to the general public, especially to the families of the detainees who are aware of this, and have recently escalated their protests, saying, “Our children are dying there. We will not let you breathe (meaning Netanyahu) until our children return. There is no longer a committee or a Knesset, there is one issue that must You have to take care of her.”
Haaretz concluded with Eisenkot saying: “If the issue of detainees is not raised, then I am betraying my position and have nothing to do,” noting that this is what all members of the Council of Ministers should feel because “mediation efforts to reach an agreement” or proposals that everyone knows will not Acceptance is not enough.
