Quoting Heritage minister Emmanuel Eliahu:
[…] He was then asked: ‘How do we now achieve the maximum release of hostages?’ He replied: ‘The way we are advancing is by encircling Rafah, preventing them from receiving humanitarian aid, and we are determined.’ In reality, the military pressure has thus far led to the deaths of more than 40 hostages, most of them as a result of fire from the #IDF. Finally, Eliahu called the struggle for the release of the hostages ‘whims, a quick adventure for the present, romantic, and good only for the short term,’ and said that the aspiration to return them through a deal is ‘childish’ and ‘romantic.’”
Emmanuel Eliahu, a member of #Netanyahu's government, regarding the ongoing conflict and the efforts to release hostages. Eliahu argues that the conflict is prolonged due to a lack of Israeli belief in sufficient strength and the impact of protests against the government's judicial overhaul. He also criticizes the conduct of Israel in accordance with international law and accuses opposition forces of "sedition" and hindering the hostage release process. He dismisses the effort to secure hostages as a fleeting, romantic endeavor.
