Family members of Israelis held hostage in the Gaza Strip have stormed a parliamentary meeting in Jerusalem to demand that Israel’s government does more to return their loved ones, as fighting in Khan Younis reached unprecedented levels.
About 20 relatives of people seized as captives by the Palestinian militant group in the 7 October attack disrupted a Knesset finance committee meeting on Monday, chanting: “Release them now, now, now!”
One woman, who has three family members taken by Hamas, cried: “Just one I’d like to get back alive, one out of three.” Other protesters held up signs reading: “You will not sit here while they die there.”
On Sunday, the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, rejected new Hamas conditions for ending the war and releasing the hostages including the Islamist group retaining control of Gaza and Israel withdrawing completely. In response, a Hamas official in Qatar said Netanyahu’s refusal to end the military offensive in Gaza meant there was “no chance for the return of the captives”.
This is you being tricked in real time.
You literally don’t have enough information to form a conclusion about this thing that happened in the past couple of hours, but that didn’t stop you from forming one and being angry about it. You just realize your information is incomplete.
There are extensive tunnels under Khan Younis. Why is it incredible to you that Hamas would be be present there?
Al Jazeera is Qatari state media. Qatari is Hamas’s largest financial supporter.
Neither the Qatari officials or their state media has any credibility in its coverage of this war.
