United Torah Judaism’s Agudat Yisrael faction comes out in favor of a potential hostage-ceasefire deal, calling on the government to “act decisively and quickly, without involving political considerations or other interests.”
According to the Ynet news site, the Haredi faction additionally says that a deal is a “moral and national duty.”
“The duty to return the hostages home is not subject to dispute; it is a supreme value that transcends any political dispute. We must act immediately and bring them back without delay,” the faction says.
