The Knesset held an explosive debate Monday on the question of whether the transfer of Covid vaccines to Gaza should be contingent on the release of the remains of two IDF soldiers and two Israel citizens in Hamas captivity.
Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee chairman Tzvi Hauser (Derech Eretz) argued that at the very least there should be a demand for information regarding the fate of the two Israelis believed to be in the hands of Hamas, Hisham Al-Sayed and Avera Mengistu. Hamas has refused to divulge any information about them, and have not permitted the Red Cross to visit them, Hauser said, according to The Jerusalem Post.
