A reservist organization in Israel has renewed calls for soldiers to refuse military orders to serve, after the security cabinet approved an expanded operation to take control of Gaza City.
"Your children don't know how to refuse on their own, because it's hard. It's almost impossible. It's hard to explain to your commanders the decision to refuse. But it's easier when it's done together ," the soldiers said on social media about the hostages.
The organization has been calling on Israelis to refuse service for months, believing that further military operations in Gaza pose a serious risk to the 50 remaining hostages, 20 of whom are believed to still be alive.
Yotam Vilk, a captain in the reserves who decided to break off service during the war and a member of "Soldiers for Hostages," said in an article that he feels betrayed by the Israeli government.
"I cannot remain silent. Not after seeing with my own eyes the human toll of each additional day in Gaza. Not after seeing what neglect and abandonment look like, and what a government willing to sacrifice us all for the sake of its false promises looks like ," Vilk wrote in the daily Haaretz.
Michael Majer, a former IDF intelligence officer who completed his service during this war, expressed his anger at Israel's politicians who did not call on others to refuse.
Referring to some of the country's top lawmakers, Mayer said on social media: " Everyone says the war is pointless. Everyone says soldiers are sent to Gaza for no reason. Do you care more about your countries than the lives of soldiers?"
