Simcha Goldin, Hamas' father held by Hamas in Gaza, today referred to reports on contacts between Israel and Hamas, saying: "We demand that Prime Minister Netanyahu not miss the opportunity to bring my son and Oron Saul back from the battlefield, and to return civilians to Abra and Hisham. ". 

Goldin said the events at the "Order of the Citrus" event held for the 104th time at the Black Arrow Memorial in the Gaza Strip, and also spoke to Benny Gantz, who was the chief of staff when he was kidnapped during Operation Cliff Ethan: "I require my son's commander in the Cliff War Ethan, the former chief of staff Benny Gantz, who will return the soldiers who remain in Gaza back home. "

Hadar's father also demanded that Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi take action to return the prisoners. "I also demand that the commander of Hadar today - Chief of Staff Kochavi take action to complete the mission until Memorial Day for IDF soldiers. This is how we were educated, educated and only so that the IDF continues. To be the people's army and only in this way will Israeli society be a melting pot and mutual guarantee. The prime minister and the chief of staff must exercise their responsibility and authority and return Hamas soldiers and civilians. " 

Goldin addressed the new situation following the Corona crisis and Hamas's desire to close a deal as soon as possible, he said. "The Corona has created a new situation in which Hamas needs us to deal with the epidemic. Failure to return soldiers and civilians is a definite anti-humanitarian act of Hamas.

Don't skip the opportunity

As noted, Israeli officials said this week that there is now a once-in-a-week window of opportunity during which it will be possible to reach a conclusion with Hamas and execute the move. They made it clear that the parties needed to act quickly - to discuss, summarize and get started.

The officials expressed concern that delaying the process or decision-making would close the window of opportunity and postpone the deal for an unknown period of time. "We're in the best shape we've been in for the last six years," they added. "An agreement can be reached. It's within reach, but if we don't act quickly, the opportunity will be lost."
