Israeli Families of Hamas Hostages Seek Action After Haniyeh Assassination
In the wake of the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, Israeli families of hostages held in Gaza are calling for action. Einav Zangauker, mother of hostage Matan Zangauker, emphasized the need to hold Hamas accountable while urging for the safe return of their loved ones.
The families stress the urgent need for a diplomatic resolution to bring back the hostages safely. They call on Prime Minister Netanyahu to accept the deal without new conditions, highlighting the 115 hostages’ plight after almost 300 days of captivity.
While the Israeli government has not officially claimed responsibility for the assassination, the families hope it will lead to positive developments. Jimmy Miller, cousin of abducted Shiri Bibas, remains cautiously optimistic about potential progress.
