UN Chief Calls for Release of Israeli Captives Held by Hamas
(Jerusalem Post) UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres met on Thursday with the parents of Lt. Hadar Goldin, who was killed during a UN-brokered humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza five years ago and whose body is still held by Hamas. Guterres called for "the unconditional and immediate return of captive IDF soldiers held by Hamas." He added, "From now on, the United Nations will monitor the issue of prisoners and missing persons in every UN report on Gaza." He said he will also raise the issue during meetings with heads of state next month at the UN General Assembly.
