Protesters demand Gaza negotiators seal deal after bodies of hostage father, son found
|
|
Selfish, vicious idiots, willing to sacrifice the children of other parents to get theirs out, even though it’s clear that Hamas has continually refused to bargain in good faith, being convinced that 1) without Israeli human shields the IDF would go through them like [your favourite colourful metaphor here], and 2) Hamas has said bluntly they don’t know where all the hostages are held or whether the ones they gave to others to hold are still alive. Given these facts, railing at Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government just because you loathe his politics is actually counterproductive; doing so week after week after week, not just since Hamas burst out of the Gaza Strip on 10/7/2023 in the start of what they thought was to be the conquest of Israel, but whenever a conservative government was in power since 2001 or so, is just plain stupid.

Israelis rallied in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem for a deal releasing hostages held in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
Saturday night, urging the government to push talks past the nearing finish line days after the army recovered the bodies of a father and son it said were taken alive on October 7, 2023, and killed while in captivity.
One person in Tel Aviv was detained while protesting the government, police said, and in Jerusalem the brief detention of a clown who has become a central figure in anti-government demonstrations sparked anger by crowds protesting outside the home of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Youssef and Hamza Ziyadne "survived the depths of hell and were murdered because you didn’t make the right decision in time," Shiri Albag said during a weekly rally at Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, addressing Netanyahu and and Defense Minister Israel Katz.
Her appearance came a week after Hamas

published a video of her daughter Liri Albag, a 19-year-old soldier who was among the 251 people kidnapped during the October 7 massacre.
Albag said the clip was a "living testament to [Netanyahu’s and Katz’s] ongoing failure."
"Look at her eyes," she said. "Eyes we know so well. Eyes that scream from inside: ’Get me out of hell. Don’t forget me.'"
In a sign that talks were advancing Saturday evening, Netanyahu’s office announced that he had decided to send a high-level delegation to Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world.

chief David Barnea, Shin Bet director Ronen Bar, IDF hostage point man Maj. Gen. (res.) Nitzan Alon, and Netanyahu’s political adviser Ophir Falk.
The decision was made after Netanyahu held a situation assessment on the ongoing hostage talks with Katz, Israeli security chiefs, and officials from US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier ...
’s outgoing administration and from US President-elect Donald Trump
...The cad! Twice caught beating wimmin!...
’s incoming administration.
Netanyahu met with Trump’s incoming US Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff in Jerusalem earlier in the day, and Witkoff was set to return to Qatar to participate in the negotiations along with the senior Israeli delegation, a source familiar with the matter told The Times of Israel.
Trump has repeatedly threatened of "hell to pay" if a deal is not inked by the time he enters office on January 20, and his tough talk has been credited with helping nudge negotiations ahead.
Speaking to the crowd in English, outgoing US Ambassador to Israel Jack Lew said the US was pushing for the talks to succeed, noting that US citizens were among those held hostage.
"The United States demands the release of seven of our hostages, four of whom we know to be dead — now!" Lew declared, saying the last word in Hebrew to applause.
"There could a ceasefire tomorrow, and an end to the suffering of Gazooks, if Hamas releases the hostages," added Lew.
Other international envoys also spoke, with some using the platform to speak out on behalf of Gazooks suffering through a humanitarian crisis due to the war sparked by Hamas’s attack, in which some 1,200 people were killed.
"I know this is not a popular thing to say, but these tragedies are linked," German Ambassador Steffen Seibert said, calling in Hebrew for an end to the "indescribable suffering of hundreds of thousands of Gazooks," as well as the release of the hostages.
British Ambassador Simon Walters also spoke in Hebrew, drawing on his childhood in war-torn northern Ireland as an example of the sacrifices needed to make peace.
"Every step toward peace was very painful, but that is the only way," he said. "Hamas is fully responsible for these crimes, but practically, we know the only way to bring the hostages home is through negotiations."
At a presser ahead of the rally, relatives of hostages angrily accused the government of being unwilling to make the needed sacrifices for a deal. They spoke days after some 1,000 parents of soldiers fighting in Gaza sent a letter to Netanyahu accusing him of using their children as "cannon fodder."
"Instead of the hostages returning alive, we are receiving the captives in body bags. Only in Israel is total failure sold as ’a heroic operation,'" said Ayala Metzger the daughter-in-law of slain hostage Yoram Metzger. "We don’t want you to send more soldiers who lose their lives while extracting bodies. We don’t want more soldiers to fall in a pointless war."
At a nearby anti-government protest in Tel Aviv demonstrators railed against newly proposed changes to the judiciary, which legal scholar Barak Medina told the crowd would "destroy the judiciary as an independent branch of government."
The reforms unveiled by Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar Thursday appeared to represent a softened version of an overhaul previously pushed by the government which sparked massive nationwide protests in 2023. Critics said the new proposal, which gives opposition politicians a greater voice on choosing judges, still preserves moves that will increase political control over the judicial system while curbing its ability to act as a check on the government or Knesset.
Medina, a former Hebrew University rector now representing 112 hostage relatives in a petition to the High Court accusing the government of denying the captives’ basic rights by failing to secure their release, said politicians should focus on freeing the hostages and ending the war rather than overhauling the judiciary.
Demonstrators were joined by some families of hostages at an ensuing protest in front of IDF headquarters. Police said most demonstrators dispersed peacefully, but some remained to light a fire, fighting with officers.
"Officers were caught in festivities with protesters, who blocked the way and prevented the fire from being extinguished, shoved and refused to clear out," police said in a statement. "Subsequently, officers were forced to use force to put out the bonfire."
Authorities said one person as arrested for disturbing public order.
At Jerusalem’s Gay Paree Square, officers detained clown Hashoteret Az-Oolay, a mainstay of the city’s protest scene, outside the prime minister’s residence.
