FM Sa'ar: “We know for certain that Hamas can easily release a significant number of hostages in accordance with the agreement. What they are doing now is a fundamental violation of that agreement
Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa’ar delivered a statement to the media, ahead of his participation in a panel at the MED Conference taking place in Naples, led by Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani.
Remarks by Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa’ar:
"I told Deputy Prime Minister Tajani that Israel is committed to implementing the Trump Plan. We want the Trump Plan to succeed, and accordingly, we will act. But I also shared with the Minister some of the concerns and worries we have. The problem of our dead hostages — 19 of them are still being held by Hamas. And we know, as a matter of fact, they can easily bring back a significant number of dead hostages and to give them back according to the agreement. What they are doing right now - it's a fundamental breach of the agreement. We share our worries with our American friends and we expect the mediators to help us resolve this issue immediately. It's very important because it's also playing with families that suffered enough for more than two years."
