Israeli Army Radio reported that on April 15, Netanyahu visited the northern Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, the military spokesman of the Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida: “We announce that we have lost contact with the group that captured soldier Aidan Alexander after a direct bombardment targeted their position and that we are currently still trying to contact them. We believe that the Israeli army is deliberately trying to ease the pressure on the dual nationality prisoners’ file, in order to continue the war of extermination against our people.”
Mother of captured soldier in Gaza, Matan Zangauker: “If my son is abandoned to his inevitable fate in the tunnels, let all the people of Israel know that Netanyahu deliberately made the decision to execute him, in a desire to take revenge on his family.”
According to Israel Hayom: “Reserve officers and soldiers from the IDF Spokesman Unit join reserve pilots, armored unit personnel and Unit 8200 to demand an end to the war and the return of the prisoners.” Channel 15: “Graduates from the army’s medium unit demand an end to the war and the release of kidnapped soldiers.” Former head of the IDF Operations Division, Yisrael Ziv: “The reserve soldiers’ messages express a lack of confidence in Netanyahu. The reserve forces are not fooled by empty slogans like “complete victory.” The war is illegal in reality and is not aimed at the recovery of the hostages.”
“Netanyahu is an enemy who poses a direct threat to Israel’s security, he must be stopped or captured,” said Dan Halutz, Israel’s former Chief of Staff. “Halutz does not represent the IDF, but only a handful of fat, irrelevant, anarchist pensioners who submit to the dictates of the enemy.” “The most failed Chief of Staff in the history of the IDF… calls the Prime Minister an enemy who must be taken prisoner. This is not freedom of expression, it is a serious incitement against democracy that encourages calls for the assassination of the Prime Minister,” the Likud wrote in a message.
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas: “What Israel is doing now goes beyond the right to self-defense. We want to resume negotiations, secure a ceasefire in Gaza and free the hostages. The humanitarian aid we provide to Gaza must not be politicized.”

An Emirati company is calling on Yemen’s Aden-based Southern Transitional Council to “buy” Socotra International Airport, the island’s only airport, and turn it into a military airbase. The island has been under UAE military control for nearly 7 years, and the Gulf nation already has a military port in the northeast of the island.
The Government Press Office in Gaza: “Israel has continued to completely close the Gaza Strip’s border crossings and prevent the entry of humanitarian aid for more than a month and a half. Israel’s closure of the Gaza Strip border crossings is a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions.”
