It was stated that this duty falls on the shoulders of Israel, the Israeli government, the Prime Minister, the Parliament, the President, the security guards and the chief rabbi, and that everything possible must be done to return the hostages to their homes at all costs.
“THE STATE DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO SACRIFICE 229 PEOPLE”
