The families of Israeli hostages held in Gaza are urging their government to accept a ceasefire plan proposed by US President Joe Biden to end the conflict in Gaza. The Families Forum has initiated an emergency operation to garner support within the government and the Knesset for the implementation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's deal to secure the release of all hostages.
The Forum is advocating for the return of all hostages, some for rehabilitation and others for proper burial, including those whose bodies remain in Gaza. They emphasize the urgency of the situation and call on the government not to miss this critical opportunity.
In response to Biden's three-phase proposal to de-escalate the crisis, which he stated was submitted by Israel, the Families Forum is mobilizing for action. The proposal has received a positive reception from Hamas and garnered praise from various world leaders.
However, there appears to be some uncertainty regarding Israel's stance on the plan outlined by Biden. While some leaders have expressed openness to the proposal, Netanyahu has reaffirmed that Israel's objectives for the conflict remain unchanged. He stated that the war will not conclude until Hamas is defeated.
As part of their efforts to advocate for the release of hostages and support the ceasefire plan, families will gather for a rally in Tel Aviv. The situation continues to evolve as stakeholders navigate the complexities of the conflict and work towards a resolution.
