Some Israeli hostage families reject a gaza deal why

in Tel Aviv, israel, are the negotiations on a possible between Israel and Hamas shortly before the conclusion. A small group of families whose relatives are held in Gaza, however, decides such an agreement.

opposition to the agreement

Many members of the tikva (hope) forum , a marginal group that also includes settlers in occupied West Bank, represent rights ideologies. They are against the release of Palestinian prisoners in Israel as part of the agreement and argue that a partly release of Israeli hostages from Gaza is unacceptable. Instead, they insist that the fight against Hamas has a top priority through strong military measures and represents the best strategy to return the hostages.

The position of the Tikva Forum

The Tikva Forum that indicates to have been founded in order to recover the hostages "from a position of strength, faith, national responsibility and interest in the unity and security of all Israeli" differs from the forum of the hostage families. The latter represents the majority of the hostage families and leads protests in which a ceasefire and a hostage agreement are pleaded.

tzvika Mor, co -founder of the Tikva Forum, believes that his son Eisan, who is recorded in Gaza, would be against the agreement. "This agreement, which Prime Minister (Benjamin) talks about today, is very dangerous for my son and for most hostages, especially for young men and soldiers who will stay in Gaza for decades," Mor told Cnn.

expectations of the Israeli government

The Israeli government expects an agreement on an armistice and a hostage agreement in Gaza on Wednesday or Thursday. In the first phase of the agreement, the release of children, women, sick and older people who are recorded in Gaza is to be exchanged for the release of hundreds of Palestinians from Israeli prisons, some of which were convicted of murder of Israelis.

Boaz Miran, also a member of the Tikva Forum, rejects the agreement. His brother Omri Kibbutz Laahal Oz kidnapped in southern Israel. He left his wife Lishay and the two little daughters. The first phase of the agreement is expected to provide no release from his brother, since it focuses on women, children and the elderly.

political views and concerns

Boaz, together with other members of the Tikva Forum, campaigned against the agreement. The members of the group often share views that correspond to those of right -wing politicians who are also against the agreement. This also includes the Minister of National Security, ITAMAR BEN GVIR, the threatened, to step out of Netanyahus coalition if the agreement is signed.

"I am against this current agreement because it will not bring all the hostages back. It will be a partial release, the rest will probably be neglected," Miran told CNN. He also believes that the release of Palestinian captured catastrophic consequences for Israel.

concern about the security situation

"We cannot allow these monsters to settle on the other side of the border. Sinwar was used as part of the Schalit-Agreis released and see what he did to us, "says Miran. Israel holds at least

The proposed agreement is to be implemented in three phases, with the first phase would take 42 days. In this phase, 33 hostages, which have been recorded by Hamas and its allies since October 7, are to be released. In return, Israel would release "many hundreds of" Palestinian captive.

effects on the families concerned

Miran said that although he celebrates the release of every hostage, the agreement in its current form would mean that the joy of some families could mean grief for others. "This agreement will determine the fate of my brother Omri, who may be in the tunnels of Hamas for months or even for years," he said.

The Israeli government assumes that 98 hostages are still in Gaza - most of them were kidnapped on October 7, 2023, many of which are considered dead.

The War between Israel and Hamas in Gaza has been lasting for 15 months And has transformed Gaza into a desert, while at least 90 % of the Palestinians have been sold since October 2023, according to the United Nations. More than 46,000 people, mainly women and children, have died according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
