The Hostage Families Forum warns New Hope chair Gideon Sa’ar against joining Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “hostage-abandoning government” amid mounting reports that the right-wing opposition party leader plans to do so.
“Anyone who chooses to continue to serve or join the hostage-abandoning government will forever be a partner in the greatest abdication in the history of the country,” the forum says in a statement.
The hostage families call on the public to join them in a protest tonight outside Sa’ar’s home. “We must stop this reckless and dangerous move before it is too late for the 101 remaining hostages.”
