Relatives of hostages still in the hands of Hamas despair after the death of four new Israelis announced by the army. Residents support the agreement proposed by the United States, and deplore the attitude of their government.
In Tel Aviv, Israel, protesters lock themselves in cages. A symbol of their powerlessness to free their loved ones held in Gaza. The anger can be seen on their faces, because a few hours earlier, they learned of the death of four new hostages. The Israeli army claims that they died in the fighting against Hamas in Khan Younes. Gili Shavit, supporter of the hostage agreement, deplores “terrible news”.
“It appears that the Biden administration is more committed to the release of the hostages than the Israeli government”, estimates Zahiro Shahar Mor, also a supporter of the agreement. Proposed by Joe Biden, this agreement provides for a six-week ceasefire and the withdrawal of the Israeli army from densely populated areas of Gaza, as well as the release of certain Palestinian hostages and prisoners. Proposals deemed incomplete by Israel.
