Israeli prisoners released from the Gaza Strip called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to conclude a comprehensive and immediate deal that guarantees the release of all hostages.
The prisoners warned that the resumption of the war would directly endanger the lives of prisoners held by resistance factions in the Gaza Strip, during a press conference held in the "Prisoners' Square" in Tel Aviv.
Speakers stressed that political procrastination and military escalation "are costing the hostages in Gaza a heavy price," calling on the government to take urgent steps to end the crisis.
They called on the international community to continue to pressure "all parties" to push Israel and Hamas to return to the negotiating table and reach a deal that guarantees the release of prisoners.
Sasha Turbanov, one of the prisoners released from the Gaza Strip, warned that the Israeli military operations "endanger the lives of the hostages and directly affect them."
"I am shocked that decision-makers choose not to listen," he added. "I can't stop thinking about those still there, living in hell because of the resumption of fighting."
