Israeli media: Netanyahu gov. gambles with lives of Israeli captives
In its editorial page, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz called on the Israeli government to urgently work for the release of settlers held captive by Hamas and the PIJ in the Gaza Strip.
"The meaning is clear: an immediate push for a prisoner exchange deal, with Israeli readiness to release the security prisoners held in Israel."
The newspaper added that the Israeli government's lethal retaliatory attack is evidence that returning the captives is not a priority for the government at the moment.
The newspaper also criticized the Israeli government's decision to act by the Hanibal Protocol regarding the captives in Gaza. The rule of thumb of the Hanibal Protocol is "Better a dead soldier than a captive soldier".
The newspaper quoted the Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, in an interview with CNN expressing concern for the situation of the captives "will not prevent us from doing everything required to ensure Israel's future."
The Director-General of the Israeli Prime Minister's Office, Yossi Shelly, said: "The captives are a reality, and the attack is a reality, and this is the decision".
