The Hostages and Missing Families Forum hails a decision by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to send a new negotiating team to hostage talks in Qatar, saying “We can’t miss this window of opportunity.”
“The 100 hostages held in the depths of the Hamas tunnels don’t have time for foot-dragging in the negotiations, we demand that the prime minister give the negotiating team a mandate to reach an agreement that will see the return of every last hostage — the living to rehabilitation and the murdered for an honorable burial,” the forum says.
