The Hostages and Missing Families Forum also says there has been a "sabotage" of efforts to free Israeli hostages.
The accusation from the Hostages and Missing Families Forum came with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on a visit to Washington and after Israel’s military said it had recovered fromNetanyahu — whose critics accuse him of prolonging the fighting — is to hold talks Thursday with US President Joe Biden, who has been pushing a truce and hostage-release deal.
An AFP correspondent reported air strikes and machine gun fire from tanks in Gaza City. To the south, witnesses reported artillery fire in the Khan Yunis city and Rafah areas, as well as air strikes in Al-Qarara, near Khan Yunis. “This foot-dragging is a deliberate sabotage of the chance to bring our loved ones back. It effectively undermines the negotiations and indicates a serious moral failure.”
Washington has been increasingly alarmed by the humanitarian toll of the Gaza war, but in his speech to Congress, Netanyahu dismissed “all the lies” about civilian fatalities.
