A number of relatives of hostages send a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanding that the government reverse a decision to cut off electricity to the Gaza Strip, saying it endangers their loved ones.
In the letter, also sent to Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar and Energy Minister Eli Cohen, the relatives say that the decision puts their loved ones in immediate danger and that a lack of electricity intensifies the spread of diseases in the Strip and worsens the conditions for the hostages.
The letter from the families says that if there is no government response, they will file a petition to the High Court. The letter does not include any specific names of signatories.
