The families of the abductees file a complaint against the leaders of Hamas at the Hague Tribunal/headquarters of the families of the abductees
Today (Wednesday), about 100 members of the families of the abductees filed a complaint against Hamas leaders to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
The complainants stated: "We came to demand justice. On October 7, we went through a second holocaust."
The statement also said: "These human monsters are the heirs of Hitler, Eichmann and Goebbels. They must be exterminated and the idea of collective death that they spread must be eliminated. History will not repeat itself, we take our fate in our hands and demand the justice we deserve."
After filing the complaint, the families held a march near the court, chanting BRING THEM HOME NOW.
"Taking our fate in our hands."

The immediate goal of the complaint, the families' headquarters explained, is to issue arrest warrants against Hamas leaders.
According to the headquarters, this step is expected to exert significant pressure for the release of the other abductees, and serve as a mechanism to bring justice to the victims and their families.
In the event that the leaders of Hamas choose to isolate themselves in countries such as Qatar or Turkey, which are not subject to the decision of the International Criminal Court, those countries will have to, say the families, decide whether they "become cities of refuge for war criminals and international wanted persons or if they hand them over in accordance with the order."
Dr. Sheli Aviv Yeni, the representative of the legal department of the headquarters of the families of the abductees said that "submitting a detailed report to the International Criminal Court is a significant step, highlighting the war crimes committed by Hamas and others since the shocking events of October 7. These crimes, including Genocide, hostage-taking, enforced disappearance, torture and sexual violence cannot and should not go unpunished."
Aviv Yeni also said: "The perpetrators must be held criminally responsible for their atrocities. We trust the ability of the criminal court to bring justice for the abductees and their families. This is part of the mechanism of exerting pressure for the release of the abductees and encouraging countries around the world to take legal action against those responsible for the heinous acts This is international recognition that holding hostages is always illegal."

Raz Ben Ami, who returned from captivity after 57 days, and whose husband Ohad is still abducted said: "Today is Valentine's Day, and my beloved husband's Ohad is still being held hostage in Gaza.
We came here today to demand justice.
The world cannot be silent.
The law cannot be silent.
Every second that my husband is in the Hamas tunnels, his life is in danger.
He doesn't have time."
Itay Regev, who was released from Hamas captivity after 54 days with his sister Maya said: "The most important thing I will do is speak on behalf of those left behind about the fear, lack of sleep and sexual vulnerability experienced by the girls there on a daily basis.
Abductees have no more time.
We have to get everyone out of there before it's too late."
Yamit Ashkenazi, sister of Doron Steinbracher who was kidnapped in Gaza said: "My little sister was kidnapped from her bed, from what was supposed to be the safest place in the world for her.
The world must wake up.
The world needs to know that my sister is in a tunnel somewhere in the cold, hungry, without medicine and exposed to sexual violence for 131 days."

Gal Dalal, survivor of the massacre at the Nuva party and brother of Guy Dalal, who was kidnapped in Gaza, said: "When I arrived at the festival, my little brother was waiting for me at the entrance. When I was rescued, I found out that Hamas had released a video of my little brother, and in the video you see him on the floor, with a torn shirt, looking at the camera and saying His name, in a dark room. The fight against the murderous terrorist organization Hamas is not only for the State of Israel, but for the whole world. The world cannot remain silent. The international community must intervene and exert pressure."
Nadav Rudaif, the son of the abducted Lior Rudaif, said: "Hamas-ISIS terrorists documented the atrocities they committed and did not distinguish between male and female children - Jews, Bedouins and Thais. They kidnapped, murdered, raped, dismembered and destroyed everything in their path. We paid and are still paying the price Be heavy on behalf of those who hate us. Don't let them make you next in line. This is your moral responsibility."
