Hardline hostage families approve of Trump’s plan to end war
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Tikva Forum, which represents some hardline families of hostages and fallen soldiers, says it approves of US President Donald Trump’s proposal to end the war and free the captives held by Hamas in Gaza.
“The statements are consistent with our principles and commitment: the return of all the abductees in one stage, the living will return to their families, and the dead will be returned to be buried in Israel,” it says in a statement, adding that the proposal ensures Hamas’s rule over Gaza will end and would no longer pose a threat to Israel.
