| Dear friend and supporter, A deeply troubling development is unfolding in Israel. Reports suggest a hostage deal with Hamas could be finalized any moment. While this would secure the release of all 96 remaining captives (both living and dead), it comes at an unthinkable cost—thousands of Palestinian security prisoners, including convicted terrorists, would be freed. Most of these individuals have committed horrific acts against innocent Israelis. While securing the release of the hostages would bring immense relief to their families, the cost is staggering. History has shown that releasing terrorists with blood on their hands will always lead to further violence, and the prospect of increased terrorism looms large. The deal also involves other concessions. Israel would withdraw to a buffer zone along Gaza’s perimeter, relinquishing control of key areas. The implications of thiis development for Israel’s security are deeply troubling. The situation is complex and alarming. Israel is under immense pressure, and its people face an uncertain and fragile future. At Feed Israel, we are steadfast in our mission to support those who need it most, providing critical aid to the displaced, the struggling elderly, and families affected by the war. |
