Israel rejects the charges
The president of Lithuania expressed support for the dissolution of the two-state Israel-Palestine. He stressed that this solution must supply "long-term peace and stableness in the mediate East, not the another way round".
— We make all effort to supply humanitarian aid, said president Hercog of Israel. He argued that 23 000 tons of humanitarian aid had reached the Gaza Strip over the past week, and hundreds of trucks are waiting to enter the territory.
— Hamas' baseless and false accusations about this issue, while ignoring his own work for the suffering of the people of Gaza, deny the real change we are aiming for," said Hercog.
During the press conference, the Israeli president showed 2 pictures of very thin Israeli citizens held by Hamas. According to Hercog, 1 of them has Lithuanian roots. The president has called not to stay indifferent to Hamas' actions. “We must free all the hostages,” he said.
