Israel has marked a year since the hostages of “beautiful six” killed by Hamas

Like Aviv, Israel – The Israelis marked on Saturday a year since the FDI soldiers recovered the bodies of six hostages executed by Hamas terrorists in a tunnel in the Gaza Strip.

The organizers estimated that nearly 100,000 Israelis gathered on the Place des Hatages de Tel Aviv to remember while family members called on the government to conclude an agreement to bring their loved ones home. A giant flag was unveiled by calling President Trump to “make history”.

The executions plunged Israel in mourning. The hostages were Eden Yerushalmi, Ori Danino, Carmel Gat, Almog Sarusi, Alexander Lobanov and the American-Israeli Hersh Goldberg-Polin.

“How do you summarize in a few words what you want to remember with your only son? He was a gift, a blessing, a talented, funny, respectful auditor and a curious citizen of the world,” said Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg-Polin, the parents of Hersh, in Fox News Digital.

“He will always be 23 years old. He was not perfect, even if most of us, the parents, want to believe about our children. But he was, indeed, the perfect son for us. We are blessed to have had Hersh in our life. We only want it to be longer. Rest peacefully, sweet boy,” they added.

The birthday coincides with the new operation of Israel in Gaza City, which led to a fierce debate on the question of whether it could endanger the remaining hostages, given what happened to the “Beautiful Six”.

The family forum hostage and disappeared warned that an agreement to secure the hostages remains blocked as the operations of the FDIs progressed, calling it “painful recall of last year’s lesson: military pressure kills hostages”.

“This nightmare must end! For 694 days, our loved ones endured hell, and we, as a nation, have lost all direction of direction. The climbing of military pressure abandons the living hostages to their fate and leaves the bodies of those who have already died buried forever in the rubble of Gaza,” added the press release.

Friday, the FDI announced that it had recovered the bodies from two hostages held by Palestinian terrorists in Gaza.

Israeli estimates indicate that 48 captives remain in the band, 20 are supposed to be alive.

Developments come as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted that only a complete ceasefire – the one who guarantees the return of all hostages and ends the war according to the conditions of Israel – will be envisaged.

“Most families want all hostages to come back at the same time,” said Tzvika Mor, hostage father Eitan Mor and co-founder of the Tikva Forum, who pleads for a complete agreement on the elimination of Hamas.

“Here’s where we are divided,” Mor to Fox News Digital told Fox. “The Tikva forum thinks that Hamas must be defeated and forced to go to Israel, while other families believe that Israel must go to Hamas to save the hostages.”

Mor underlined the 1976 Entebbe rescue as an example, noting that if the result was uncertain at the time, the Israelis widely believed that the country had the duty to fight for its citizens rather than capitulating the terrorists. He argued that although military action involves risks, the much greater danger would allow Hamas to dictate the terms after October 7.

And I think largely, they say that and change their mind because the Israelis are putting me very intense,” Witkoff said Fox. “Special.” “.
