As you may recall, the Goldin family petitioned the High Court for an interim order banning the transfer of people, goods and corona vaccines to and from the Gaza Strip, above what is required by international law until the return of soldiers and civilians.
The petition, filed through attorney Aviad HaCohen, Leah and Simcha Goldin, Hadar’s parents who were killed during the ceasefire in Gaza during Operation Eitan in 2014, argued that the Israeli government and security forces allow large numbers of people and goods to move to and from the Gaza Strip. From the obligor by virtue of the rules of international law.
It was also alleged in the petition that those involved in this extensive activity were hiding the information from the public, and although they had been approached seven times during the past year demanding the disclosure of the data in this matter, they were not answered.
At the beginning of the petition, Hadar’s family wrote that “for more than six years, the Israeli government and its leaders, as well as members of the defense establishment, have been turning around in denial and deception. There is talk of their commitment to get our sons back in their throats.
State response: “A request from the Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Health this morning indicates that 5,000 vaccines have been sent from Russia to Palestinian health workers not only in Judea and Samaria, but also in the Gaza Strip.”
“Delivery of Corona’s Sputnik 5 vaccines originating from a donation from the Russian government is expected to reach the Palestinian Authority through the Allenby Crossing. , Added in response. “As of the time of writing, the exact date of arrival of the vaccines is not yet known. At the same time, IDF officials said that at present there is no Palestinian request to coordinate the transfer of vaccines to the Gaza Strip, and as soon as such a request is submitted, IDF officials and the Ministry of Health will contact the political echelon for instructions.
The Goldin family reported: “Unfortunately, instead of fulfilling its commitment to returning civilians and soldiers home, the Israeli government continues to deceive the public. Anyone who transmits vaccines to the Hamas terrorist organization and does not demand the return of IDF soldiers in return has lost his discretion. The government is wrapping its answers to the High Court under the false guise of a ‘political matter’ in order to escape criticism. This is a failed and corrupt conduct that sends a message to the citizens of Israel that the blood of IDF soldiers is no man’s land. We demand that the Prime Minister immediately recalculate a route and condition the transfer of vaccines on the return of the soldiers. We will not rest or be quiet until the truth is revealed, and until the boys – the civilians and the soldiers, including our son Hadar – return to the country that sent them to protect its safety and security. “
