Bereaved families from the Forum of the Heroic sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, opposing the U.S.-led Gaza Peace Council plan and demanding the complete destruction of Hamas, according to a report. The families called for Israel's security to remain solely in IDF hands and warned against any foreign force entering the Gaza Strip.
Bereaved families from the Forum of the Heroic sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, urging him to reject the U.S.-led Gaza Peace Council plan and to insist on the complete destruction of Hamas, both as a governing and military entity. The families wrote that Israel's security must remain solely in the hands of the IDF, and that they will not accept a framework that leaves security to any foreign force.
In the letter, the families stated: "Our security solely in the hands of the IDF… We will not agree that our loved ones be the silver platter for a new terror regime in Gaza." They recalled cabinet war goals including the full disarmament of Gaza, the defeat of Hamas, and preventing the Palestinian Authority from governing the Strip. The letter comes as debate continues over the Peace Council framework, which calls for a full Israeli withdrawal and the entry of a multinational force. Last week, the same forum sent a separate letter warning against a return to the pre-October 7 security concept, as The Zioneer reported.
The families' appeal underscores the political pressure on Netanyahu from the right and from bereaved families as the government navigates the proposed deal. The letter did not address any specific negotiating timeline or official response from the Prime Minister's Office.
