After the publication of the IDF's investigation into the circumstances of the deaths of the hostages Alex Danzig, Yoram Metzger, Chaim Perry, Yigav Buchstab, Nadav Poplovol, and Avraham Munder, the Hostages' Families Headquarters responded this evening (Wednesday) to the investigation's conclusions and the determination that the hostages whose bodies were recovered were murdered in captivity by Hamas following an IDF attack in the area.
"During the past year, the IDF and the security establishment have achieved significant and commendable accomplishments in all war theaters, and particularly in the Gaza Strip, and we support the soldiers and commanders in their missions," they said at the headquarters. "Our souls are weary, the heart of the people of Israel can no longer bear more sorrow and endless pain." The findings of the investigation are further proof that military pressure leads to the killing of hostages."
"The IDF's investigation, alongside various other events, illustrates the urgency and necessity required in bringing back all our people," they added and clarified. "As President-elect Donald Trump has clarified, as well as Prime Minister Netanyahu in his conversation with Yael Alexander, the mother of Idan Alexander – the time has come to return everyone." The living and the fallen alike. Decision-makers must swiftly and decisively move to the decision-making stage.
