"Israeli soldiers give Netanyahu an ultimatum."

The number of people who lost their lives in the attacks by Israel, which began on October 7 against Gaza, has risen to 42,010, while the number of injured has reached 97,720. While Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu turns a deaf ear to the protests calling for necessary steps for a ceasefire, a challenge has also come from the soldiers.

In a report published by Israel's daily newspaper Haaretz, it was announced that Israeli soldiers declared they do not wish to serve in the army. Among the 130 soldiers who signed the letter addressed to the Israeli cabinet and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are reservists and conscripts from various military units such as armored units, artillery units, home front command, air force, and navy.

"A LARGE NUMBER OF SOLDIERS HAVE DIED IN IDF ATTACKS"

In the letter, the soldiers who stated that they oppose the continuation of attacks in Gaza expressed that the ongoing conflicts delay the release of hostages, saying, "It is clear that the continuation of the war in Gaza not only delays the release of hostages but also puts their lives at risk. A large number of soldiers have died in IDF attacks. In the operations conducted by Israel to rescue hostages in Gaza, more hostages have died than those rescued," the letter stated.

"FOR SOME OF US, THE RED LINE HAS ALREADY BEEN CROSSED"

Issuing a warning that they will not continue to serve if the government does not agree to a ceasefire, the Israeli soldiers stated in the letter, "For some of us, the red line has already been crossed, and for others, it is approaching rapidly. The day we will stop going to duty with broken hearts is approaching."
