President Isaac Herzog on the recovery of the body of hostage Idan Shtivi:
"Idan Shtivi came to celebrate at the Nova Festival on October 7. He was murdered while helping others fleeing the terrorist onslaught, and his body was held hostage in Gaza. In a joint IDF-ISA operation, he has now been brought home for a dignified burial.
I hope this will bring a measure of comfort to his beloved parents, Eli and Dalit, and to his siblings, who have shown remarkable strength in their determined struggle for his return.
These moments of deep sorrow remind us of one truth: Hamas' crimes are crimes against humanity. The world must act with moral clarity and press for the release of all the hostages. Every last one."
