Ahead of the head of the Mossad's departure for talks in Qatar, where he will discuss with the mediators the answer of Hamas regarding a deal for the release of the abductees, their families are calling on the government to do everything possible to bring their loved ones home.
According to an Israeli official, the plan is for the delegation to leave for Qatar on Monday, when today (Sunday) Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is expected to hold a discussion regarding the mandate of the negotiating team regarding the abductee deal
. Mozes that has been kidnapped in Gaza for 163 days. "We want the government to do everything that can be done, and we feel that it can do more: send a delegation, not stop the discussions of the cabinet on Saturday, which will have representatives in Cairo.
Wherever there is a need to show presence and talk there should be."

Moses added: "The state must do everything possible to bring them home. If they have to go to Qatar - let them go, if they have to talk to the cabinet until white smoke comes out and not wait 24 hours for Shabbat to come out, do it. I have learned not to get excited by reports until everything is agreed upon. I don't raise expectations because I'm just disappointed. Things happen, but I feel that the State of Israel is not 100% there. Don't start thinking about political influences, be there."

"We were outside the cabinet meeting on Friday, to show that there was backing for the deal - then we heard that the meeting ended without a decision because of the Sabbath," said Gil Dikman, a relative of Carmel Gat who is still held captive by Hamas in Gaza.
"Didn't they hear that the spiritual control postpones Shabbat? Do you think the abductees even know that yesterday was Shabbat? Last night we heard that the meeting was postponed for another 24 hours, and that Netanyahu refused to deal with the issue on Shabbat. If this issue is not urgent - we will make them feel and understand that it is urgent. They don't understand "They asked our family members who are going through terrible things right now in Gaza. Bring them back home now," he added.

Last night, the families of the abductees held a huge rally at the headquarters of the abductees in the square of the abductees, with the participation of thousands.
The demonstration was under the sign: "International Rally", during which the demonstrators called, as every week, for the release of their loved ones who are being held in the Gaza Strip by the terrorist organization Hamas.
"For five months now, the families of the abductees have been meeting around the world with high-ranking leaders in order to receive international support," the families' headquarters said.
