The military of Israel said on Friday that the air force reservists will fire who have signed a letter in which the war in Gaza is sentenced and accused of only serving political interests and not bringing the hostages home.
In an explanation of The Associated Press, an army officer said there was no room for a body or person, including reservists in active service, to take advantage of their military status and at the same time to take part in the fights “and to describe them as a breach of trust between commanders and subordinates.
The army said she decided that every active reservist who signed the letter could no longer serve. It was not stated how many people were contained or whether the shots had started.
Almost 1,000 reservists and pensioners of the Israeli Air Force signed a letter published in the Israeli media on Thursday and demanded the immediate return of the hostages, even at the expense of the end of the fights.
The letter comes when Israel increases his offensive in Gaza and tries to put Hamas under pressure, to agree to free hostages, 59 of which are still captured, more than half are dead.
Israel has imposed a blockade for food, fuel and humanitarian aid, in which civilians became more than acute bottlenecks because the supplies disappear. It has undertaken to confiscate large parts of the Palestinian territory and to establish a new security corridor.
While the soldiers who signed the letter did not continue to serve, he is part of a growing number of Israeli soldiers who spoke out against the 18-month conflict, and some said they had seen or did things that exceeded ethical limits.
“It is completely illogical and responsible in the name of the Israeli political decision -makers … The life of the hostages, the life of more soldiers and the lives of many innocent Palestinians, while it had a very clear alternative,” said Guy Poran, a retired Israeli Air Force Pilot who performed the bookstore.
He said he didn’t know anyone who has signed the fired letter, and since his publication he has won dozens of further signatures.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu played down the letter on Friday and said that he was from a “little handful of weeds, which was operated by NGOs financed by abroad, the only goal of which is to overthrow the right government.” He said everyone who encourages the refusal to serve in the army would be released immediately.
Soldiers have to stay away from politics and rarely speak against the army. After the Hamas fell to Israel on October 7, 2023, Israel quickly unites behind the war against the Palestinian militant group.
The departments in Israel have grown in the course of the war, but most reviews have concentrated on the increasing number of soldiers killed and the failure to bring hostages home, not on actions in Gaza.
Proponents for the return of the hostage keep pressure upright
Freed hostages and their families do what they can do to keep attention to their emergency and ask the government to get everyone out.
For the Holocaust Memorial Day this year, Agam Berger, a hostage and freed one in January, is freed on a march of the living ceremony in Poland as an annual memorial march at the Auschwitzes location, who honored the six million Jews killed by Nazi Germany and celebrated the state of Israel.
Berger will play a 130-year-old violin who survived the Holocaust and brought to Israel at the main celebration in the Birkenau concentration camp. She is accompanied by singer Daniel Weiss, a resident of Kibbutz Be’eri, whose parents were murdered on October 7.
The war in the Gaza shows no signs of slowing down.
Since Israel ended an eight -week ceasefire last month, it said that it will continue to push into the Gaza strip until Hamas releases the hostages. According to the United Nations, more than 1,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the collapse of the ceasefire.
The Israeli military published an urgent warning to the residents in several districts in the north of Gaza on Friday and asked them to evacuate immediately. According to the Gaza’s Ministry of Health, at least 26 people have been killed in the last 24 hours and more than 100 more injured, which does not differentiate between civilians and combatants.
