PMO says it is ‘investing all resources’ in bringing Gaza captives home

A statement from the Prime Minister’s Office, following the release of a video by Hamas purporting to be of Israeli captive Avera Mengistu, vows to do everything to bring those held in the Strip home.
In a statement, the PMO says that “the State of Israel is investing all of its efforts and resources in bringing home its captive and missing sons.”
Unnamed Israeli officials slam Hamas for “being busy with arrogant videos instead of helping the citizens of the Gaza Strip.”
In addition to Mengistu, Hamas is thought to be holding Hisham al-Sayed, as well as the bodies of two IDF soldiers killed in the 2014 Gaza war, Oron Shaul and Hadar Goldin.
