The leader of an opposition party in Israel launched an appeal to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday night already two other opposition leaders to form a temporary government to free all hostages to Gaza by dismissing the right end of power.
These hostages had been withdrawn on October 7, 2023 during the unprecedented attack against the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas in Israel, which caused the war in the Gaza Strip.
Since the departure of his coalition in July of the ultra -orthodox matches Ashkénazes, Mr. Netanyahu has no more absolute majority in Parliament and has depended on his allies of the extreme right, which reject any hostage release agreement with Hamas, and defends the continuation of the war until the annihilation of the Palestinian movement in Gaza.
“I call Netanyahu, Yaïr Lapid and Avigdor Lieberman. It is time to form a prison acquisition government,” said Benny Gantz, head of the National Union Party (correct center) when referring to the release of the fifty hostages, living or dead, still detained in the Gaza Strip.
Yaïr Lapid, head of the first opposition party, Yesh Atid (center), has 24 deputies in the Knéset. Mr. Lieberman, leader of the Israel Beiteinou Nationalist Party, has 8, as much as Mr. Gantz.
With the 32 deputies of Mr. Netanyahu’s party, Likoud (right), these three parties could form a coalition with the majority of 72 seats (120) in Parliament.
“Eternal War”
“The duty of our state is above all to save the lives of Jews and all citizens. Every hostage in danger of death could be our son, his son,” added Mr. Gantz at a press conference.
At the same time, tens of thousands of Israelis demonstrated, like every Saturday night, in Tel Aviv in support of the hostages and demand from the government at the end of the war and an agreement that allows its liberation.
“Instead of saving lives, Netanyahu condemns hostages that are still alive until death [et] He condemns us to an eternal and useless war, “said Yotal Cohen, brother of Nimrod Cohen, one of the twenty hostages allegedly alive.
Mr. Gantz said he launched his appeal without informing the interested parties and neither Mr. Netanyahu nor mm. Lapid and Lieberman have not reacted it publicly.
Hamas approved a draft agreement on Monday provided on Monday, according to Palestinian sources, a 60 -day truce during which hostages would be released in two stages in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
On Thursday night, Netanyahu announced that he had ordered “immediate negotiations” for “everyone’s liberation [les] Hosages and ended war on acceptable conditions for Israel “(which includes a disarmament of all Palestinian groups in the Gaza Strip), without referring to the proposal of the mediators (Egypt, the United States and Qatar) approved by the Islamist movement.
However, the Israeli government must confirm the sending of a delegation of negotiators for a new cycle of discussions in a place that has not yet been specified by the mediators. If he requested an agreement with Hamas that allowed the liberation of the hostages, Mr. Gantz, former head of the Israeli army cabinet, did not call him at the end of the war.
“We will save our brothers”
“Hamas terrorists who left for hostages must die, like the Nazis. We will chase them until their last day. But above all, we will save our brothers,” he said.
The government that proposes would begin its mandate “with an agreement on the hostages that will bring everyone back to the house” before having a law to fix “a military service framework that will integrate our ultra -orthodox brothers” before establishing elections for the spring of 2026, he said.
The ultra -orthodox escape widely and this detention of de facto is not increasingly compatible, especially in times of war, for the rest of the Israeli population, largely favorable to their registration under the 18 -year -old flags like the rest of the population subject to military service.
The game of the ultra -orthodox Ashkenazes of the majority in July was carried out after a dispute on this closing problem.
The October 7 attack led to the death of 1,219 people on the Israeli side, mostly civilians, according to an AFP count based on official data. The Israeli retaliation campaign left at least 62,622 people dead in the Gaza Strip, mostly civilians, according to the Hamas Government Ministry of Health, whose figures are considered reliable by the UN.
