Hostage Families Forum: Rescue is ‘miraculous,’ but deal needed to bring everyone home
The Hostage Families Forum welcomes the rescue of captive Qaid Farhan al-Qadi from Gaza by IDF troops, but stresses that a deal is necessary to secure the release of the remaining hostages.
“He endured 326 days in captivity,” says the main umbrella group for family members of the hostages in a statement. “Qaid’s return home is nothing short of miraculous. However, we must remember: military operations alone cannot free the remaining 108 hostages,” the group adds. “A negotiated deal is the only way forward.”
