There is a global call, including from Israel’s allies, to respect minimum conventions: do not attack hospitals, do not kill children and allow humanitarian aid. Israel justifies every day going over everything with excuses: it bombs hospitals and homes because “there are terrorist tunnels,” it murders civilians and children because “everyone helps Hamas,” it blocks or obstructs water, food, fuel and energy supplies because “terrorists can use them.” The murderers try to impose the idea that killing defenseless people in their land is eliminating the Hamas militiamen.

Israel doesn’t care about the hostages. It has only made vague promises to their relatives, some 50 of whom have died in his bombings, it has begun the ground invasion despite the dangers of reprisals and has rejected the proposals of exchange for the thousands and thousands of Palestinian prisoners they have locked up causelessly. In addition, it kidnaps hundreds of workers and ordinary people daily to subject them to interrogation and torture.
In a video released by Hamas, three Israeli hostages addressed their government: “Benjamin Netanyahu, we have been in Hamas’ captivity for 23 days… Yesterday there was a press conference for the families of the prisoners, and we know that there was supposed to be a ceasefire, and you were supposed to liberate us. You should have liberated us. However, we are suffering from your political, security and military failure, from the “failure” that you caused on October 7, because no soldier was there and no one came to us, and here no one defended us, and we are citizens. Innocent and naive citizens who pay taxes to the Israeli State, we are now in captivity “without conditions” or negotiations to liberate us. You are killing us. Do you want to kill us all? Isn’t it enough that you massacred everyone? Is it not enough for you that you have killed Israeli citizens in your bombings? Release their citizens and prisoners now (i.e. the Palestinians). Free us. Free everyone, we deserve to return to our families, now, now, now.”
