(Times of Israel) Yaron Blum, coordinator for negotiating the return of Israelis held by Hamas, said Friday that Gaza would not see true rehabilitation until the missing men are returned. Hamas holds the remains of IDF soldiers Oron Shaul and Hadar Goldin, who were killed during the 2014 Gaza war. Hamas is also believed to be holding three Israeli citizens - Avraham Abera Mengistu, Hisham al-Sayed and Juma Ibrahim Abu Ghanima - who entered Gaza of their own accord. Hamas "must understand that there will not be comprehensive rebuilding efforts for Gaza without the release of IDF soldiers Oron Shaul and Hadar Goldin, and [the] civilians," Blum told the Walla news site.
