With reports coming in of a cease fire in exchange for freeing a number of hostages, Likud MK Moshe Saada attacked the war cabinet for failing to secure a deal that frees everyone: “We decided to give up on them because Sinwar isn’t interested?”
In a tweet Saada posted on X/Twitter, he wrote: “Like every citizen in the State of Israel, I certainly also yearn and pray for the return of the hostages. Of course returning the hostages is at the top of the State of Israel’s life of priorities, and I stress – all the hostages without selection and without separation of families and without rounds according to the decision of the dead man Sinwar.”
He also wrote: “What will we tell the families of the captive soldiers who physically protected the state? What will we tell the families of the elderly? We decided to give up on them because Sinwar isn’t interested?”
A Ceasefire Without Returning Everyone Increases the Danger to Soldiers
Saada continued to attack the war cabinet in light of reports of the emerging deal. “To surrender to the psychological terror of Hamas and give it the ceasefire it so desperately needs and without which it is doomed, this is a deep moral failing of the war cabinet,” he wrote.
The Likud MK said that “I call on the Prime Minister – we mustn’t forget that alongside returning the hostages the defeat of Hamas, resettlement of tens of thousands of evacuees from the Perimeter and the northern border, and returning security to millions of Israeli citizens, security which presently does not exist, is also at the top of the State of Israel’s priorities.”
He ended by writing that “a ceasefire without the return of all the hostages means increasing the risk to the lives of the best of our sons who are currently in fighting areas, the non-return of security to Israeli citizens, and not meeting the goals of the war.”
