Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein tells the plenary that whatever the future of the reconciliation deal between Fatah and Hamas, all sides must commit to returning the living Israeli civilians and bodies of Israeli soldiers currently being held in Gaza.

“We are honored by the presence of the families of the kidnapped and missing soldiers, whose sons are still being held captive by the Hamas terrorists,” he says.

“Time will tell whether the fate of the reconciliation deal is to end like its predecessors or to hold out,” he says.

“But our demand from the Palestinian leadership has not changed, and will not change: Bring our sons home!” he says emphatically.
