Officials of the Simon Wiesenthal Center urged US Secretary of State Kerry to return immediately to the Middle East to free an Israeli soldier kidnapped by Hamas after the US-brokered ceasefire went into effect.
“Mr. Kerry rushed to Jerusalem to pressure Israel to accept yet another ceasefire with terrorist Hamas. Less than 90 minutes later two Israeli soldiers were dead and an Israeli soldier kidnapped by the terrorists. He should now rush back to the region with no other agenda than obtaining the immediate release of the kidnapped Israeli soldier. He should insist that Qatar and other supporters of Hamas demand the soldier’s immediate release,” said Rabbis Marvin Hier and Abraham Cooper, founder and dean and associate dean of the leading Jewish human rights organization.
“Israel has the full support of world Jewry to permanently eliminate the threat of Hamas. The Wiesenthal Center further demands that European leaders arrest all those involved in the the explosion of violent anti-Semitism across the continent by supporters of Hamas,” Rabbis Hier and Cooper concluded.
