"The time is more mature than ever to seek quick plans to repatriate the hostages," Gantz said at a parliamentary meeting of the National Unity Party he chaired.

"I call on the prime minister the same as you order an attack on Iran, do what is right and it is necessary to repatriate our daughter and son, even if you have to bear the painful consequences don't hesitate, because you will receive the full reward. support," he added.

Gantz admitted fighting in Gaza had to continue for years, but emphasized the importance of bringing the hostages back.

"The question is whether we will see 101 of our girls and boys, who were kidnapped for the greatest failure in our history, during your surveillance," Gantz said, referring to the number of hostages still detained in Gaza.
