PM: We expect world to condemn Hamas and for captives, soldiers’ bodies to be returned

Speaking at a ceremony honoring exemplary operatives in the Mossad intelligence agency, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel expects the UN General Assembly to vote in favor of the US-backed resolution condemning Hamas.

“We expect not only for the condemnation of Hamas but also for the return of our captives and missing persons. They are always at the front of our minds,” says Netanyahu, referring to the bodies of slain IDF soldiers Hadar Goldin and Oron Shaul, and Israeli civilians who crossed into Gaza on their own accord and have been said to be held by Hamas.
