The Hostages and Missing Families Forum is demanding a meeting with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir over Hamas’s failure to hand over the bodies of all hostages it is holding in Gaza.

“The families will demand from the chief of staff an explanation for why the IDF is continuing to implement the agreement normally, while there is a serious fear that the hostages will stay in captivity as Hamas blatantly violates the agreement that was signed,” a statement by the forum reads.

The families charge that the IDF is still acting like it was before the October 7, 2023, massacre, believing in Hamas’s word rather than understanding that it is a “deceitful and disgusting terror organization.”
