Netanyahu meets with families of IDF soldiers whose bodies are held by Hamas

Prime Minister Netanyahu met with the families of two Israeli soldiers whose bodies are held by the Hamas terror group in the Gaza Strip, the premier’s office says.

Netanyahu updates the families on efforts to return the bodies of Oron Shaul and Hadar Goldin, who were killed in the 2014 Gaza war, according to the Prime Minister’s Office.

A PMO statement says the Goldin and Shaul families raised other options for retrieving the bodies of their sons that Netanyahu instructed his aides to look into.

Earlier today, Hadar Goldin’s parents slammed a ceasefire last week to end fighting with the Gaza-based Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group, calling it an “abandonment” of their son and Oron Shaul.
