550 Former Israeli security officials urge Trump to end Gaza war

Over 550 former Israeli security officials have urged Trump to intervene in the Gaza war and secure the release of Israeli hostages. Netanyahu faces criticism for his handling of the crisis. Calls for a ceasefire deal with Hamas continue to rise. Would you like me to refine or expand on any part of this summary?

AhlulBayt News Agency: More than 550 former Israeli security officials have urged US President Donald Trump to intervene and help end the ongoing war in Gaza. They also called on him to secure the release of Israeli captives held by Hamas.

According to Clash Report, the group of former officials sent a letter asking Trump to use his influence during his visit to the region to push for a ceasefire and prioritize the return of Israeli hostages.

Among the signatories is Major General Yisrael Ziv, former head of operations for the Israeli army. He revealed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is planning to send a delegation to Qatar, following Trump’s apparent intention to broker an end to the conflict.

Ziv criticized Netanyahu, stating that it is disgraceful how little concern the government and its leader have shown for the hostages.

He added that Trump’s success in securing the release of captive Alexander Edan only highlights Netanyahu’s failure, calling it “a painful humiliation.”

The appeal comes as calls grow within Israel for a negotiated deal with Hamas that would lead to a ceasefire and the return of detainees
