2. 'Israel released a murderer': Hostages families, politicians respond to Abu Salmiya's release

Following the release of Shifa Hospital chief Muhammad Abu Salmiya on Monday morning, Israeli politicians and hostage family members were quick to voice their frustration.

A statement from the hostages' family members stated, "the decision to release 120 terrorists without us, the families of the hostages, receiving even a sign of life from our loved ones is a puzzling one. Moreover, this is a decision that is not consistent with the principles of negotiations according to which you give something and get something in return.

"We are in the last line for the approval of the Netanyahu deal and hope that the Israeli government will be determined to release our family members, with the same determination as it releases the director of Shifa Hospital, under whose auspices the hostages are given poor medical care and which offers a haven for Hamas terrorists," the statement concluded.

The hostage families from the Tikvah Forum responded to the release of the Shifa Hospital chief. "While our loved ones have been held captive by Hamas for many months, Israel released a murderer, Hamas assistant, the director of Shifa Hospital," the Tikva Forum response stated. "He is the one under whose management the hospital became a home for terrorists. He is the one who hid Hamas terrorist nests, including weapons and bunkers, where Israeli hostages were also murdered under his eyes. The decision to release him is a sign of moral disgrace"
