Goldin family slams Netanyahu for returning terrorists' bodies

'The State of Israel has shown weakness and has apparently given up on bringing the bodies of Hadar and Oron Shaul home,' says family of Hadar Goldin, an IDF soldier who was killed in Gaza and whose body was snatched by Hamas.

The family of Hadar Goldin, whose body is being held by Hamas, was furious to learn that the State of Israel has recently returned bodies of 16 Palestinian terrorists to their families for burial. accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of surrendering to the Palestinians.

 

 

"The State of Israel has shown weakness and has apparently given up on bringing the bodies of Hadar and Oron Shaul home," the family said in a statement.  

 

The bodies of Shaul and Goldin have been held by Hamas since they were killed during Operation Protective Edge in the summer of 2014. The government has promised the families to make every effort to bring them back for burial in Israel, but arrangements have thus far not materialized.

"For a long time now, the Israeli government has demonstrated terrible weakness against terror and against Hamas," the family claims. "While Hadar and Oron are in the hands of Hamas, Netanyahu is returning the bodies of terrorists, improving infrastructure in Gaza, paying the salaries of Hamas terrorists and sending goods to Gaza to the extent no other government has ever done before. All this happens without Israel demanding negotiations or information on Hadar and Oron. The statement the prime minister made about returning the bodies of these boys has proved empty."

The Goldin family is demanding that the prime minister meet with them and the Shaul family to ensure that government policy will change immediately. The families noted that during the construction of the framework for the deal with Turkey, the families demanded that the deal include their sons for the reconstruction of Gaza, but they were left out of the settlement.
