A group of relatives of the hostages held by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the Gaza Strip interrupted a speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before the Israeli Parliament on Monday.
The protesters, who carried banners and photographs of the kidnapped people, began to chant “now” while Netanyahu defended that the Government has managed to free more than 100 hostages so far thanks to military pressure, according to The Times of Israel. .
“We will not be able to free all the hostages without military pressure, operational pressure and diplomatic pressure. And that is why there is one thing we will not do: we will not stop fighting,” he stressed during his speech, as reported by the prime minister’s office. .
More than a hundred hostages were freed last November in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners during a week-long truce reached between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
