Just before the end of the year 2023 and the beginning of the New Year's celebrations around the world, President Isaac Herzog publishes a series of messages in ten different languages with a similar wish - the main message being dedicated to the effort to free the abductees in the Gaza Strip.
In his greeting on social media, Herzog wrote: "With the arrival of a new civil year - 2024, I call on the entire family of nations and world leaders to act and demand the immediate release of our 133 abductees without conditions."
He also added: "Babies, elderly, women and men are being held in cruel captivity by the terrorist organization Hamas, without receiving a regular supply of medicine and a visit from the Red Cross. Their immediate release is at the forefront of our fight in Gaza. May the light dispel the darkness and may the new year bring with it good news of peace and brotherhood to all."
As mentioned, the message was distributed to the world in 10 different languages: Hebrew, Arabic, English, Russian, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Indian and Portuguese.
