United Nations experts called on Thursday for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, saying time was running out for Palestinian people there who find themselves at "grave risk of genocide".
The truth is that Israel didn’t really try to release them. They just started the ground offensive and intensified the airstrikes and started bombing the tunnels the same where those hostages are believed to be.
So ELI5 how is helping the hostages? As this in my eyes is another proof that this war cabinet cares very little about them. And the relatives of those hostages are expressing their anger openly and dissatisfaction.
In an interview with the BBC, Goren describes his cousin as “an average guy, he’s a civil engineer, he’s got a wife, he’s got three kids”. His family is “sick with worry”, Udi says.
But his biggest frustration is that he feels the families of hostages “just can’t trust anyone”.
“We don’t trust our government, [we don’t trust] that they’re doing their best to bring them back. Obviously we don’t trust Hamas,” he explains, adding that they’re “not getting any clear answers”.
“I don’t see in any way, in any way, how bombing Gaza to the ground is going to get my cousin back. I don’t see in any kind of scenario, how this is getting him back alive sooner,” Goren adds.
The truth is that Israel didn’t really try to release them.
They literally did just that not 2 days ago. It’s just an extremely difficult and dangerous job trying to rescue hostages in the massive network of terror tunnels Hamas has built.
