Rothman tells hostages’ families he hopes for end of deal as soon as possible, with return to war

Chairman of the Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee MK Simcha Rothman tells family members of hostages held in Gaza that he hopes the current deal with Hamas, in which captives have been returned a few at a time, is halted as soon as possible.

“I hope that God will send the courage to the decision makers in Israel to stop this terrible deal as soon as possible, to return to combat and to open the gates of hell on Hamas,” Rothman, of the far-right Religious Zionism party, tells the committee meeting.

Merav Svirsky, the sister of hostage Itay Svirsky who was killed in captivity, tells Rothman, “At this moment, you are sacrificing the lives of people. It’s insane. My brother was killed due to military pressure.”
