A group of families of Israeli soldiers on Thursday called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the war on the Gaza Strip in order to preserve the lives of their sons, accusing him of prolonging the conflict in vain.

The “Families of Soldiers Cry Enough” group includes more than 800 families of soldiers, conscripts and reservists serving in combat units in Gaza, including those who have continued fighting almost non-stop since October 7, 2023.

In a letter addressed to Netanyahu by “Families of Soldiers Cry Enough,” the group reiterated these accusations.

The letter read: “We accuse you of a war without a horizon, unprecedented in the history of our country. And this is only for reasons related to your personal political survival.”

The message added: "We accuse you of abandoning the hostages and soldiers! We appeal to you: End the war!"

The soldiers' families said that "everyone knows, including them (the soldiers), that the war continues without a goal and that the hostages will not return except within the framework of an agreement" currently being negotiated in Qatar, one of the three mediating countries alongside the United States and Egypt in the peace talks.

The group of soldiers' families continued, "The Israeli army has no reason to remain in Gaza, except to fulfill the messianic desires (of some members of the extreme right) to settle there."

The families concluded their message by telling Netanyahu, "We will not allow you to continue sacrificing our sons like cannon fodder."
