Forum Tikva Against the Deal: "Differentiates Between Abductees"

Members of the Tikva Forum, which unites families whose children were abducted to Gaza on the seventh of October, refer this evening to the deal forged between Israel and Hamas regarding the exchange of prisoners.

The forum points out that the deal was created as a result of the massive offensive pressure that the IDF placed on Hamas. "From this deal we learn that the offensive pressure works and pushes Hamas into a corner", the members of the forum say that the deal differentiates between the abductees, and harms the unity of the families. "We demand a commitment to the release of all the abductees until the last one of them."

The demand of the forum members is to increase the massive military pressure out of commitment to the other abductees, the IDF soldiers and the rest of Israel's citizens.

The Tikva Forum, which brings together the families of abductees, works with the goal of assisting the speedy release of all the abductees down to the last of them out of national responsibility and out of trust in the resilience of the State of Israel and the IDF.

The Tikva Forum works to help the families of the abductees, supports the activities of the security forces and the IDF to free their loved ones, works for the unity and strengthening of the spirit of the people and constantly prays for the speedy, safe and secure return home of all the abductees, until the last one of them.
