“Every day when the war continues, living hostages are in greater danger, and the recovery of the bodies of those who have been assassinated is compromised “said the Families Families Forum in a statement, writes Agerpres, citing France-Presse.

The organization added:

“Countless times, (Netanyahu) chose to miss every opportunity to bring home“the organization added.

From now on, Israel “He wants to finish the job” against Hamas “as soon as possible” In a gaza strip devastated for almost two years of war, the Israeli prime minister at the UN said on Friday in a speech with an offensive tone.

“In Gaza there are 48 hostages, not 20”

Netanyahu read, during his speech, only the names of some, but not of all the hostages held in Gaza, causing indignation among the forum of the hostage families.

“While President (Annerican Donald) Trump systematically recognizes all hostages, both the living and the killed, Netanyahu chose to read only the names of living hostages“, the forum laid.

“The families of the 48 hostages are outraged by this omission. In Gaza there are 48 hostages, not 20”is shown in the statement.

Of the 251 people abducted in the Hamas attack on Israel of October 7, 2023, which triggered the war in the Gaza Strip, 47 are still held in this territory, including 25 considered dead by the Israeli army. Hamas also holds the remains of an Israeli soldier killed in a war in Gaza, in 2014, notes AFP
