Families of Israeli captives held in Gaza have yet again called for an agreement that will result in their return from Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

According to Israeli media outlet Maariv, the families said: “The danger to our children’s lives is great and we call on Israel and Washington to consider our situation.

“The risk of the disappearance of the bodies of the prisoners killed in Gaza is increasing. It is time to reach a comprehensive agreement and stop the war. No kidnapped person must remain in Gaza, the madness must stop, and our sons must be returned.”
