Educators, reservists, ex-diplomats are latest to urge hostage deal, even by ending war | The Times of Israel (2025-04-15)
"A wave of public petitions calling for the return of hostages from Gaza even if it means an immediate end to the war continued on Monday, representing several more sectors of Israeli society, with thousands signing on to back the call originally made by Israeli Air Force reservists last week.
“Separate letters were published Monday in the name of some 3,500 higher education academics, 3,000 education officials, 1,500 armored corps soldiers, 1,000 parents, dozens of former Foreign Ministry officials, and IDF Spokesperson’s Unit reservists.”
"‘The war serves mainly personal political interests,’ the petition [signed by academics] charged. … ‘As has been proved in the past, only an agreement can bring hostages back to Israel safely.’”
