The Israeli media highlighted the condemnation of a number of families of Israelis detained by the Islamic Resistance Movement (agitation) in Gaza stripwith their government’s decision to stop negotiating exchange deals, as a number of them demanded accepting any deal and ending what they considered a “nightmare” that befell them.
Channel 13 quoted Shelly Shem Tov, the mother of one of the detainees in Gaza, that the State of Israel must do everything as quickly as possible to return their children, and stressed the necessity of accepting any deal and ending this nightmare, as she put it.
As for Inbal Albini, the daughter of one of the detainees in the Gaza Strip, she asked, in her interview with Channel 11, why negotiations were not continuing to exchange the rest of the prisoners, demanding that the government assume its responsibility and take the initiative and not wait. She said, “We are not in a tennis match during which we can ask for a period of thought and then resume the match.” “My father and the rest of the kidnapped people do not have this time.”
In turn, Ronen Tzur, director of the detainees’ families headquarters, told Channel 12 that after many years during which the Israelis saw themselves as the strongest, wisest, and most developed of all, they were surprised, on October 7, that they were not, adding, “Suddenly, all departments and agencies were disrupted.” (..) We are not the wisest and we are not the most developed.”
While journalist and political analyst Guy Belg called for a police investigation into the killing of a settler shot by police after he participated in the killing of the perpetrators of the occupied Jerusalem operation that took place last Thursday, adding, “I think it is inevitable to say that Ben Gvir has completed his hostile takeover of the police… This is not The Israeli police is a militia Ben Ghafir“.
