Thousands of educators call to return hostages even at cost of ending war
Over 6,000 academics and education officials have signed petitions calling for returning hostages from Gaza even if it means an immediate end to the war, Haaretz reports.
Some 1,500 former armored corps soldiers have also signed a petition to that effect.
The latest petitions come after some 1,000 veterans of the Israeli Air Force published a letter last week demanding the return of the hostages in Gaza, even if it comes at the cost of ending the war against Hamas entirely. The military has moved to dismiss every active duty reservist who signed it, saying soldiers cannot use the “Israeli Air Force brand” to protest political matters.
