The families of the seven remaining American hostages demand that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu finalize a hostage-ceasefire deal with Hamas, after the IDF recovered the body of the American-Israeli hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin over the weekend.
“The tragic murder of Hersh, just months after we all saw his face in a hostage video released by Hamas, is nothing short of vicious and senseless,” the American hostage families say in a statement. “It is more proof that Hamas is killing hostages in captivity.”
“And it is a cruel reminder that with each passing day, the chances of bringing anyone home alive are at grave risk,” the families continue.
“For the last 331 days, we warned that this could happen. Enough is enough,” they add.
