Israeli President Rivlin: No Gaza Rehabilitation until Soldiers' Bodies Are Returned
(Times of Israel) Alexander Fulbright - President Reuven Rivlin said Monday: "As long as Hamas continues to run Gaza as it does with only one purpose - the destruction of the State of Israel and attacking its citizens - and holds the bodies of our soldiers who didn't return from battle, Gaza won't be rehabilitated." He was referring to the bodies of Oron Shaul and Hadar Goldin who were killed in the 2014 Gaza war whose remains are held by Hamas. Rivlin spoke during a ceremony at Jerusalem's Mount Herzl military cemetery for Israeli troops killed in the 2014 war. "We are sorry for the Gazans who are rotting under the yoke of Hamas," he added.
