After the beginning of the Israeli soil offensive in the city of Gaza, thousands protest in Jerusalem. They worry about the fate of the hostages. Netanyahu sees responsibility at Hamas.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warns the Islamist Palestinian organization Hamas urgently to do something about the hostage dragged out of his country. If the kidnappers harm the hostage, Israel will “hunt them until the end of her life”, Netanyahu threatened. “And this end will come much earlier than they think.”
According to media reports, Hamas is said to have brought several hostages that had previously been recorded in tunnels to tents and houses to prevent the Israeli army from operating in certain areas. The hostages are housed in places that could be dangerous for them, said Netanyahu. US President Donald Trump also shocked that, he continued. Trump had previously warned Hamas that she would have to pay expensive if she used hostages as human protective shields.
According to his own information, Netanyahu will again be a guest with US President Donald Trump after participating in the UN General Batte. Trump invited him to the White House in Washington, after his speech before the United Nations, he would meet him there, Netanyahu said on Tuesday at a press conference. The general debate will take place next week.
Netanyahu only visited Trump in Washington in early July. At that time it was already his third visit to the White House since Trump’s taking office in January.
The families of the hostages are desperate in view of the Israeli soil offensive in the city of Gaza. They fear that the abducted people will be misused as human protective shields and could be killed on the offensive.
The relatives of the kidnapped therefore announced that they stay in front of Netanyahu’s residence in Jerusalem permanently and want to spend the night in tents. There should be protests every day.
The families of the kidnapped accused the Israeli head of government to “sacrifice their relatives out of political considerations”. According to Israeli media, thousands of demonstrators gathered in front of Netanyahus Residence. Several hundred people protested in front of his office.
According to Israeli information, 20 of the 48 deported people who are still in the Gaza Strip are still said to be alive – including German citizens.
