The families of Israeli prisoners said Tuesday that by resuming the war of extermination in Gaza, the government has chosen to abandon our relatives in the Strip.

"The greatest fears of the families, the hostages, and the citizens of Israel have been realized," she added in a post on the X platform. "The Israeli government has chosen to abandon the hostages."

She continued: "We are shocked, angry, and horrified by the deliberate dismantling of the horrific process of repatriating our loved ones from Hamas captivity."

She pointed out that "returning to fighting before the release of the last of the abductees would come at the expense of the 59 abductees still in Gaza who could be rescued and returned."

She explained that "the Israeli government refused to declare the end of the war in order to implement the next steps in the agreement and return all hostages."

She considered that "declaring a return to war to return the hostages is a complete deception, as military pressure puts the hostages and soldiers at risk."

The families of the Israeli prisoners added: "We must return to the ceasefire. Many lives are at stake."

She called on US President Donald Trump to "continue to act as he has announced and acted to date, to release all hostages."

In a letter to the Israeli government, she said: "The families of the kidnapped children are demanding answers: Why aren't you fighting in the negotiating room? Why did you withdraw from an agreement that could have brought everyone home?"

The families of the Israeli captives added: "There will be no security, no victory, and no resurrection until the last captive returns to his homeland."

At dawn on Tuesday, 254 Palestinians, including children, were killed and more than 440 others injured, some critically, after Israel suddenly resumed its war of extermination in the Gaza Strip. The escalation involved a major military operation that swept across most areas of the Strip, targeting civilians during the pre-dawn meal.

This attack represents the largest violation of the ceasefire agreement brokered by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States last January.

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 160,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 14,000 missing.
