Incoming Foreign Minister Israel Katz instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Israeli representatives in Israeli embassies and consulates around the world, that from now on the pictures of the abductees will be displayed in all the diplomatic missions of the State of Israel in the world.
Foreign Minister Israel Katz today (Thursday) instructed the 108 embassies of the State of Israel around the world to set up a visual display of the abductees in order to influence the countries of the world to act on their behalf alongside the State of Israel. The directive comes alongside a plan that is expected to be implemented in the coming days to place displays of the abductees in selected institutions in all the states in the US and in countries around the world, with the aim of mobilizing them for activity and pressure for the release of the abductees.
Foreign Minister Israel Katz explained his decision and said that: "The fight in the international arena for the return of the abductees is our commitment to the abductees, their families and the entire nation of Israel. This is a first-rate moral and humane issue. We expect international bodies to promote the issue of returning the captives without discrimination and out of humanity and morality. We will not let up until the issue of the abductees is the priority of countries that maintain friendly relations with us, as the issue is the priority of me and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. From now until they return, the pictures of the abductees will be displayed in all our missions."
