Simcha Goldin, father of fallen soldier, praises new pressure on Hamas prisoners
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSimcha Goldin, father of Hadar Goldin, the fallen soldier whose body is still held by Hamas some three years after it was taken from the battlefield in the 2014 Gaza war, praises the Israeli government’s reported decision to deny family visits to Hamas prisoners in Israeli prisons.
“We’ve been asking the government for two and a half years to apply pressure on Hamas in order to change the equation, to make them understand that holding IDF soldiers is a burden rather than an asset. Something is finally moving,” he adds, according to the Ynet news site.
