Israeli army leader warns the relentless battle about the hostage crisis

Israel’s leading general warned that there would be no rest in the fight against Gaza if the negotiations fail to quickly secure the release of hostages held in the Palestinian territory.

“I believe that in the coming days we will know if we can reach an agreement on the liberation of our hostages,” said head of Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, according to a military statement.

“If not, the race will continue without rest,” he said during observations on Gaza officers on Friday.

The videos released by the Israeli army showed the soldiers and officers of the Zamir meeting in a command center.

Of the 251 people abducted by Israel during Hamas’ attack in October 2023, 49 remain in Gaza, 27 of them dead, according to the army.

The Palestinian armed groups released two hostage videos that look weak and weak this week.

Negotiations – mediated by the United States, Egypt and Qatar – to ensure a ceasefire and their release broke last month and some in Israel called for tougher military action.

This comes in the context of increasing pressure-so internationally and domestic, including many of the hostage families-to continue efforts to secure a ceasefire in the conflict of almost 22 months.

Aid organizations have in the meantime warning that the population of Gaza is facing a catastrophic hunger caused by Israeli restrictions on reinforcement.

However, Zamir rejected these hand claims.

“The current campaign of false accusations for deliberate starvation is a deliberate, timid and deceitful attempt to blame the [Israeli military]A moral army of war crimes, “he said.

“Those those responsible for the murder and suffering of the residents in the Gaza Strip are Hamas.”

The Hamas 2023 attack resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, mainly civilians, according to an agreement based on official data.
