Zionist Families: Reaching an Agreement Is the Only Way to Free the Prisoners.
According to the Palestine Now news agency, the families of the Zionist prisoners sent a message to Steve Whittaker, the US president’s special envoy for the Middle East, asking him to present a proposal to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of the Zionist regime and the Hamas movement to return all the Zionist prisoners and end the war, and to ignore Netanyahu’s plan to prolong the war indefinitely.
They said: The only way to return the abductees alive is to reach an agreement, not war.
The families of the Zionist prisoners also emphasized to Netanyahu: By opposing the cessation of the war and the return of the prisoners, you are acting against the interests of the people and Israel based on political considerations. You must once again present a proposal to stop the war and return the abductees.
According to IRNA, the Zionist regime launched a war against the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023 with two main goals: to destroy the Hamas movement and return the Zionist prisoners from this region, but it failed to achieve these goals and was forced to reach an agreement with the Hamas movement to exchange prisoners.
On January 19, 2025, based on an agreement between Hamas and the Zionist regime, a ceasefire was established in the Gaza Strip, and several prisoners were exchanged. However, the Zionist regime refused to enter into the second phase of the ceasefire negotiations and resumed its military aggression against the Gaza Strip on the morning of Tuesday, 18 Esfand 1403 AH, violating the terms of the ceasefire.
