Before the Ceasefire: a Petition to the High Court Against the Hostage deal

In the "Choosing Life" forum, the bereaved families and victims of terrorism announced this evening (Wednesday) that they have decided to file a petition with the High Court against the hostage deal with Hamas. In their words, they called not to release Palestinian terrorists or bring humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.

"We know and warn that any terrorist who is released now will return and harm in the future. In the Shalit deal, the murderers of the October 7th massacre were released, and there is no reason that this time the release of the terrorists will be any different," they said in the forum. "We all want to see all the abductees return home, and call on the government not to allow any humanitarian aid to enter the Strip."

Earlier today, the "Almagor" organization for victims of terrorism also submitted a petition to the High Court against the deal. "We intend to ask the High Court for an exhaustive discussion of the deal," said Lt. Col. Meir Indor, one of the organization's leaders. "We will demand that all the details of the agreement with Hamas be disclosed . We would like to know the details of Israel's commitments to Hamas, in terms of combat restrictions, the cessation of aerial intelligence surveillance, and the introduction of fuel and materials that may be used for Hamas' needs in terrorizing the residents of Israel. We demand a detailed explanation what Israel's commitment to Hamas is."
