The war has reached its six month mark and is dragging on with no end in sight, and no serious hostage deal on the table.
The United Nations Human Rights Council adopted a resolution on Friday demanding Israel be held liable for potential war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, as the six-month anniversary for the Israel - Hamas conflict nears.It’s the last wish of a dying mother, to be with her daughter once more. But six months into Israel ’s war against, time is running out for Liora Argamani, who hopes to stay alive long enough to see her kidnapped daughter come home.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to both eliminate Hamas and bring all the hostages back, but he’s made little progress. He faces pressure to resign, and the U.S. has threatened to scale back its support over the humanitarian situation in Gaza.Israelis are divided into two main camps: those who want the government to put the war on hold and free the hostages, and others who think the hostages are an unfortunate price to pay for eradicating Hamas.
Before a recent parliamentary committee meeting, attendees held posters showing the hostages. Yarden Gonen, whose 23-year-old sister, Romi, also was taken from the Oct. 7 music festival, criticized what she said was the government’s inaction.Outside an art installation mimicking the Gaza tunnels where some hostages are believed to be held, Romi’s mother said she can’t believe it’s been half a year, with much of the world wanting to forget or ignore such a horrible situation.
A few months before her abduction, Argamani asked Levi to help navigate insurance issues for her mom, he said. As an only child, she was a big part of her mother’s life and care, and she seemed hopeful she would be OK, Levi said.
