The Israeli government’s exposure to escalating pressure by the families of missing soldiers in Gaza is believed to be one of the prominent reasons behind its decision to convene a meeting for its security cabinet on Sunday to discuss this issue according to political analyst Saleh al-Na’ami.
In press remarks to the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) Na’ami said that the families of Israeli missing soldiers in Gaza seemed to have managed to pressure their government to take steps regarding the issue of their sons.
He expressed his belief that the Israeli officials would study during their security cabinet meeting the Turkish overture to be a mediator between Israel and the captors in Gaza.
The analyst ruled out that the security cabinet would consider taking any military action against Gaza to restore its missing citizens.
Al-Qassam Brigades the armed wing of Hamas had disclosed several months ago photos of four Israelis it described as captive soldiers in Gaza. Two of those soldiers were officers captured during the 2014 war.
