Zehava Shaul, mother of Oron Shaul, a soldier who was killed and subsequently captured during Operation Protective Edge in 2014, called upon the public to pressure the Israeli government against "capitulating" to Hamas terrorism.
"Do not let the Israeli government abandon the sons to the enemy," she said at a joint press conference on Sunday. "This is a window of opportunity for us, and we must not miss it."
According to several reports, the Israeli government is debating an Egyptian proposal for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
