Former Mossad members call for immediate end to Gaza conflict
(MENAFN) Over 250 ex-members of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency have penned a letter calling on the government to swiftly resolve the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip and secure the release of Israeli hostages still in captivity, as reported on Sunday.
The letter features signatures from three former Mossad directors: Danny Yatom, Efraim Halevy, and Tamir Pardo, alongside numerous other seasoned officials from the agency.
The former operatives stated, "Continued fighting endangers the lives of the hostages and our soldiers, and every possibility must be exhausted to reach an agreement that will end the suffering. We call on the government to make courageous decisions and act responsibly for the country's security."
They also voiced their support for hundreds of military aircrew members, both active and retired, who had previously issued a similar appeal for a ceasefire and the safe return of hostages.
In reaction to the aircrew's letter released on Thursday, Israeli Air Force Commander Tomer Bar opted to dismiss active reservists who had signed it.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu supported this dismissal, labeling the signatories as "an extremist fringe group" attempting to "break Israeli society from within."
Additionally, on Sunday, around 200 Israeli military doctors signed a petition echoing the call to stop the fighting and facilitate the return of hostages, according to various media reports.
"The continued fighting in Gaza is primarily intended to serve political and personal interests, without any security purpose, and endangers the lives of soldiers and hostages," the petition claimed.
