After the IDF expanded its ground operations in the Gaza Strip on Saturday night, the headquarters of the families of the abductees and missing demanded to meet with cabinet members. After the families stood in front of the campus this morning, Defense Minister Galant announced that he would meet with the families tomorrow.
Despite Galant's announcement, the families announced that they had stood in front of the campus and would demand to meet with the prime minister and defense minister this evening. "We expect the prime minister and defense minister to meet with us today, look us in the eye and give a clear answer to the question: Does the escalation of the military operation in Gaza endanger the safety of the 229 abductees," they wrote.
In an earlier announcement, the families demanded to meet with decision makers following the expansion of the ground operation. "This night was the worst of all nights. It was a long white night, against the background of the IDF's major operation in the Gaza Strip, and complete uncertainty regarding the fate of the abductees who are being held there and are also subject to heavy bombardment."
"Anxiety, frustration and, above all, immense anger that no one from the War Cabinet bothered to meet with the families of the abductees in order to explain to them one thing – whether the ground operation endangers the safety of the 229 abductees in Gaza," the families wrote in their demand to meet with the cabinet members.
They also announced that if their demands for a meeting were not met, they would launch protests. In the afternoon, Defense Minister Galant announced that he would meet with representatives of the families tomorrow.
