The Tikva Forum, an organization for hostage families who support military pressure on Hamas to free captives, said that continued Israeli airstrikes in Gaza are “the right direction” to bring their loved ones home.

The Forum was responding to repeated calls by the Hostages and Missing Families Forums to immediately end the war to free the 58 captives remaining in Gaza.

Calling for the destruction of Hamas, the Tikva Forum said, “The justification for the military activity is solely for the release of all our abductees together, without selection and stages.”
