Hostages Families Forum: Gaza Strikes Threaten Hostage Deal

The Hostage Families Forum, advocating for the return of those abducted, issued a stark response to the intensified airstrikes in Gaza. “This morning, the families of the hostages woke with heavy hearts, gripped by fear over reports of escalating attacks in Gaza and the looming end of President Trump’s regional visit,” the group said. The Forum warned that “every indication suggests Israel is mere hours from squandering a historic chance. Rather than securing the release of all hostages, joining a sweeping regional effort, and halting the war, Israel risks isolation and getting mired in Gaza’s quicksand.” In a desperate plea, the Forum added, “These are critical hours. We urge the Prime Minister and President Trump to seize this moment for a breakthrough.” (ynet)
