MEDIA ADVISORY, Sept. 5, 2024 /Standard Newswire/ -- Pressure is mounting on Israel after its military confirmed over the weekend that six more Israeli hostages, including a 23-year-old Israeli-American, were found dead in a tunnel complex under Gaza, reportedly executed just hours before their bodies were recovered. Widespread protests have erupted.
"Hamas terrorists are using hostages as a psychological weapon to play on people's emotions and tear Israelis apart," said Joel Chernoff, founder of Israel-headquartered humanitarian aid agency Joseph Project International(JPI, www.josephproject.org).
JPI has provided aid to some family members of Israeli victims of last October's deadliest-ever terror attack on Israel.
"The war is having a devastating effect on Israel's economy, with more than 30% of Israeli children now living in poverty," Chernoff said. "Israel is at a critical point, and the Israeli people desperately need our help."
