The Jewish world is preparing for the start of the Passover holiday on Monday evening in a year when there are Jewish slaves being held in captivity by Palestinian terrorists in Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement Sunday citing the continued captivity of hostages in Gaza, and recalling the traditional themes of the holiday:On this night, 133 of our dear brothers and sisters are not around the Seder table, and they are still held hostage by Hamas in hellish conditions.
On this Seder night, our hostages being held by Hamas are before our eyes. Their suffering and the suffering of their families rends our heart and only strengthens our resolve to bring them back. We are not relenting, not even for a moment, from our sacred mission to return them home. Citizens of Israel, on the eve of Passover, when the people of Israel went forth from slavery to freedom, let us remember our fallen heroes, and our wounded fighters, thanks to whose sacrifice, we are free people.
