The family of slain Israeli soldier Hadar Goldin, whose remains are being held in the Gaza Strip, slams the Turkey deal.

The Goldin family, as well as the family of fallen soldier Oron Shaul, have been lobbying the government to include the release of their sons’ bodies as part of the deal.

“This is an agreement that the prime minister led, in an undemocratic step, which goes against the basic values of the IDF and the State of Israel since its founding,” the family says in a statement. “The prime minister has made Hamas a party in the agreement by way of Turkey, which sponsors the organization. Therefore, the prime minister is encouraging terrorism and giving Hamas a prize.”
