Israeli society has been shocked and traumatized by the Hamas attack and the government has come under fire for its response to the hostage crisis.

This Tuesday, Hamas has offered to “immediately” release all civilian hostages captured in its latest operation if Israel stops air and artillery attacks on Gaza to eradicate the leadership of the terrorist militia.

NBC News correspondent Richard Engel said a top Hamas commander has specified that the hostages could be released within an hour as long as Israel meets its conditions. The terrorist leader stated that there is currently no safe place to release the prisoners.

Furthermore, he noted that, in exchange for the release of the hostage soldiers, Israel must release all Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.

Maya Sham is one of the Hamas hostages.

For Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, Hamas’s proposal to release civilian hostages is a diversionary maneuver. That is why she today urged the international community to support the fight against the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas.

“Just as the world came together to defeat the Nazis (…), the world must come together with Israel to defeat Hamas,” Netanyahu said at a press conference in Tel Aviv with the German head of government. Scholz.

“Colossal” government failure

Dozens of Israelis have been seconded to enforce since October 7 a sit-in protest in front of the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv to demand the release of the hostages and for the resignation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom they accuse of a “fiasco.”

“All these people (the hostages) have to go home. “This government has failed colossally,” says 58-year-old Mona Hanoch, crying.

Cindy Cohen, 65, waves a banner with the message “Now for a Prisoner Exchange Agreement.”

“All hostages must be released in exchange for all (Palestinian) prisoners held in Israel,” he added. (JO)
