Hostages families: Calls for 'unity' are an attempt to end the war
2025-01-02
[IsraelNationalNews] The Tikva Forum of hostages' families on Wednesday sent letters to key Religious Zionist leaders, including rabbis and the heads of local councils, claiming that in recent weeks certain bodies have begun reaching out to National Religious communities and organizations for "discussions" masquerading as talks on "unity," while their real intentions are a call to "end the war" and pay "a painful price."

According to the Tikva Forum families, these calls will not bring the hostages closer to home - they actually distance that possibility, and further endanger the hostages.

"The demand that we stop military action in Gaza makes us appear weak and inspires Hamas to continue to reject proposals and refuse to release our loved ones," they explained. "Remember that that Hamas has refused every single deal throughout the past year."
