Jason Greenblatt, the US Special Representative for International Negotiations, recently sent a letter to the UN in which he asked the body to continue the efforts to release the Israeli soldiers and civilians being held by Hamas in Gaza, Channel 12 News reported on Monday.
Greenblatt wrote in his letter that he recently met with Leah and Simcha Goldin, the parents of IDF soldier Hadar Goldin whose body has been held by Hamas since Operation Protective Edge in 2014, and added, “This week marks the fifth anniversary of the terrible pain they are living with, being unable to give their son a proper burial.”
