Zvika Mor, father of Eitan Mor who is held hostage in Gaza, addressed today (Thursday) the Witkoff outline and opposed carrying out a partial deal that leaves some of the hostages behind.

Zvika Mor: "Stopping now leaves hostages behind"

"No to a partial deal!" Mor wrote on his Twitter account. "If we continue like this, in another month Hamas collapses and hands over all the hostages to us in exchange for exit to a third country. Stopping now leaves hostages behind, returns assets we captured with our soldiers' blood, and machine-guns the reservists who just want to finish the job."

Earlier today, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with hostage families and said that Israel will accept the current proposal for a deal to release hostages, according to a report by Channel 12 journalist Almog Boker. It should be noted that three months ago, a sign of life was received from Zvika's son, Eitan, who has been held in Gaza for over 600 days.

The current proposal includes the release of ten living hostages and 18 bodies in two phases, a ceasefire for 60 days, IDF withdrawal from areas captured during Operation "Swords of Iron," and the flow of humanitarian aid through the UN, though it's unclear whether with the help of American companies.
