Ahead of the debate in the political-security cabinet, Simcha and Leah Goldin, parents of Lt. Hadar held by Hamas, attacked the Prime Minister: "Netanyahu pledged publicly and personally that there would be no arrangement without the boys' return. We expect him to meet his commitments we last heard a month-and-a-half ago."
The Goldins added: "For counterfeit peace, the Cabinet will decide today to sell the IDF and the State of Israel. The arrangement has already begun and Israel has not exacted any cost from Hamas for it. In Gaza there are billions in investments, upgrading water, electricity, and sewer infrastructure and hospitals and factories are being set up. The Israeli government decided to give Hamas prizes and gifts without demanding anything from them.
"There's no other country in the world ready to move hundreds of millions of dollars into Gaza, encourage and support billions in projects, and continue to stand by as Hamas holds two soldiers and two civilians."
