CALL FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO APPROVE THE CEASEFIRE
Herzog expressed his support for the efforts of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the negotiation team regarding the agreement, calling on the government to approve the ceasefire agreement. Herzog stated that the agreement must be approved to bring Israelis home, emphasizing that there is nothing more important than the return of the hostages to their homes.
"WE MUST TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY"
Herzog conveyed that the terms of the agreement are not easy but necessary, noting that a tremendous opportunity has been created through significant security, diplomatic, and social efforts, saying, "We must take advantage of this opportunity." He called for great sensitivity towards the families of all hostages, requesting, "I especially ask you to embrace the worried and grieving families who fear that their loved ones will not return, particularly in the initial phase of the agreement."
ISRAELI PARLIAMENT EXPECTED TO VOTE ON THE AGREEMENT TOMORROW
The ceasefire agreement, which includes the prisoner exchange reached in the Gaza Strip, is expected to be put to a vote in the Israeli parliament tomorrow. The ceasefire in the Gaza Strip is set to begin on January 19.
