138 IDF soldiers, including 17 in regular service and others in reserves, have signed a letter stating they will not continue to serve unless the government progresses a hostage deal. Some have stopped service, while others are close to their breaking point. The letter, directed to the Prime Minister, Defense Minister, and IDF leadership, emphasizes the urgency of bringing the hostages home.
Urgent Call for Action
The signatories feel that the government’s delay in hostage return not only risks lives but also contributes to casualties through IDF actions. They demand immediate action to save the hostages’ lives. The IDF has not officially received the letter.
This bold move by IDF soldiers underscores their unwavering commitment to bringing their comrades home, even if it means taking a stand against their own government. The call for action is clear – save the lives of the hostages now. It remains to be seen how the government will respond to this powerful plea from those who risk their lives in the line of duty.
