Israeli President Isaac Herzog spoke at a conference held at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
In his speech, he thanked US President Joe Biden for the “new ceasefire proposal in the Gaza Strip” announced on Friday and for his ongoing efforts to secure the release of hostages.
Adding that “full support” is being given to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Herzog said, “We must not forget that according to Jewish tradition, there is no greater commandment than the redemption of captives and hostages. It is our natural responsibility to bring them home within the framework of an agreement that protects Israel’s security interests.”
