Hostage families said considering hunger strike in protest of government inaction

Channel 12 reports that the families of hostages in Gaza are weighing launching a hunger strike in protest of what they view as government inaction to secure the release of their loved ones.

The development comes amid reports that the government is holding off on initiating a hostage deal with Hamas on the grounds that it believes that continued IDF operations in Gaza will bring the terror group to its knees and back to the table with a good offer.

Also in recent days, the IDF managed to retrieve a number of bodies of hostages killed in Gaza, which the families say could have been saved.

The hostages’ families have argued that each day that passes places their loved ones at even greater risk.
