Bereaved families to cabinet: 'Do not entrust Israel's security to foreign forces'

Bereaved families from the Gaza envelope and the south, members of the Gevura Forum, sent a letter to the Prime Minister and cabinet ministers opposing the decision to bring international forces into the Gaza Strip. The families warn that the move revives failed security concepts and call for maintaining full Israeli control by the IDF.

Bereaved families from the Gaza envelope and southern communities, who lost their loved ones in the war and are members of the Gevura Forum, sent a letter to the Prime Minister and the political-security cabinet following the decision to allow international forces into the Gaza Strip. In the letter, published on Walla, the families warn that the move could return Israel to security concepts that have proven failed, and call for maintaining full Israeli security control. They emphasize that the main lesson from October 7 is that Israel's security cannot be entrusted to any foreign entity, and only the IDF and the State of Israel should bear the responsibility. The families also refer to the continued activity of Hamas and warn against moves that would allow the terrorist organization to rearm, calling for a return to determined fighting until Hamas's military and governmental capabilities are dismantled. At the end of the letter, the families directly address the Prime Minister and ministers, reminding them of their commitments throughout the war that security responsibility would remain solely with Israel and the IDF.
