Hamas hostage families say Government must repay trust with ‘time running out’
Speakers: Stephen Brisley, brother-in-law of hostage Eli Sharabi; Sharone Lifschitz, whose father Oded Lifschitz is still held by Hamas and Raz Matalon, also brother-in-law of hostage Eli Sharabi.The families of hostages held by Hamas have called on the Government to repay their trust as “time is running out” to save surviving loved ones.The group said there had been a “failure of international diplomacy” and urged the Israeli government to agree to any deals currently on the table.Prime Minister Rishi Sunak met with the families in Downing Street on Tuesday and promised to do “all we can” to bring the hostages home safely.The delegation, which represent four of the hostages currently in Gaza, also visited the Embassy of Qatar for discussions with the minister of state.It comes after Hamas said in a statement that it responded in a “positive spirit” to the latest proposal for a ceasefire from the US and Middle East mediators.Speaking at a press conference in central London, Stephen Brisley, brother-in-law of hostage Eli Sharabi, told reporters: “We put the greatest trust possible in the UK and Qatari governments because we’re talking about the lives of our family. There can be no greater trust to be given, taken or broken."
