Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: "Ehud Barak", the former Israeli Prime Minister, yesterday (Saturday, May 3) called for a prisoner exchange agreement with Hamas, even if it means ending the war in the Gaza Strip.
Barak added: "Even if it means ending the war, we must move immediately towards signing the agreement, as with every passing day, the army and the government are being destroyed."
He said: "Hamas can fight the Israeli army for the next 50 years; an army that would have defeated Egypt or any Arab country in three months if it had fought it."
Following the Netanyahu cabinet's decision to expand ground operations in the Gaza Strip, tens of thousands of Israelis demonstrated in Tel Aviv on Saturday evening, demanding an end to the war and the return of Zionist prisoners.
The Haaretz newspaper reported hours earlier that the army planned to call up thousands of reservists to expand operations in the Gaza Strip.
Haaretz, citing informed sources, added that the Israeli army will begin calling up reservists to expand ground operations in Gaza starting tonight.
Israel's Channel 14 also reported that the army will send out calls to reservists for the fifth time starting October 7, 2023, in preparation for expanding the scope of operations in Gaza.
The network added that the Israeli army plans to call up about 60,000 reservists for military service.
According to Israeli media, Netanyahu's cabinet has agreed with the army on the steps to expand operations in Gaza.
According to this plan, the Israeli army intends to evacuate and take control of areas of the Gaza Strip, saying that if the prisoners are not released, the area of Gaza will decrease.
The delegation of families of Israeli prisoners in Gaza stated a few hours ago that calling up more reserve forces will only lead to the deaths of prisoners, and that Netanyahu is trying to prolong the war in order to achieve his political goals.
The families of Israeli prisoners stated that the only way to return all prisoners is to overthrow Netanyahu's cabinet and change it.
