On Saturday, an extensive demo of the families of the Israeli captives took place in Tel Aviv. Einav Tsengauker said: “This is the 407th day that our loved ones are in captivity in hell in Gaza because of Netanyahu. Yesterday, it was announced that Israel submitted a proposal on its behalf to end the war in Lebanon. How is it possible that an Israeli proposal was made to end the war in the north, but there is no Israeli initiative to end the war in the south? How is it possible that even after Hamas has been defeated, Netanyahu refuses to end the war in Gaza in exchange for a deal? How is it possible that the cabinet stopped discussing the issue of the abductees?
Netanyahu gave up on the abductees a long time ago, and now he is sacrificing them and the soldiers while his extremist partners are working to establish settlements in Gaza! We are told to wait for Trump to enter the White House, but the kidnappers have no time! That is why we are turning from here to President-elect Donald Trump: Honorable President, please come to the event today! Netanyahu refuses to end the war in Gaza! Kidnappers won’t survive the winter. They won’t last until your inauguration in January! We must save my Matan and all the abductees right now!”[i]
While we reject the assumption of Tsengauker that Hamas has been defeated, and we think that in their despair, they have an illusion in the reactionary imperialist Trump, we support the demand to end the war now. For this, we raise the following demands:
End the war in Gaza now!
Israeli army out of Gaza now!
Exchange all the captives with all the Palestinian political prisoners! All for All
For constitutional assembly of all the people who live in the entire Palestine and the participation of the Palestinian refugees!
The solution is the Arab revolution!
