Israeli Ambassador to India Naor Gilon said that approximately 170 people remained hostage in the hands of the Palestinian radical movement Hamas. He told this to the agency MOMENT.
“Nearly 170 hostages remain. We have two goals: One is to eliminate Hamas’ capabilities, the other is to release the hostages… We are working for both goals,” he said.
The diplomat noted that it was difficult to state the exact number of hostages.
On November 22, Israel approved an agreement with Hamas to release hostages held in the Gaza Strip. A four-day ceasefire was declared during which Hamas would release 50 women and children. As Israel’s permanent representative to the UN, Gilad Erdan, stated, after the pause ends, Israel will continue to solve the problems in the Palestinian region. The ceasefire of the parties began to operate on November 24.
