Under the slogan “7 months, without hugs, without answers, without words” the deputies urged to redouble efforts to achieve the release of the kidnapped people.
Following the incursion of the Hamas terrorist group into southern Israel on October 7, 132 people, including 9 Argentines, remain allegedly kidnapped in the Gaza Strip.
On Monday, the terrorist group stated that it informed Qatar and Egypt of its acceptance of a proposal presented by these countries for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
However, Israel’s war cabinet agreed “unanimously” to press ahead with the offensive on Rafah in the Gaza Strip, although it will send a delegation of mediators to “exhaust” all options in order to close an agreement that meets with your requirements.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated that the ceasefire proposal led by Qatar and Egypt “is far” from the requirements requested by the Israeli side. In this sense, Israel announced that it will maintain its decision to carry out an offensive against Rafah “to exert military pressure on Hamas” in order to “advance the release of the hostages.”
