PRAYING FOR CHANUKAH HOSTAGE MIRACLE BY DAVID SAFFER President Isaac Herzog lights the second Chanukah candle at his Jerusalem residence tonight with families of 100 hostages still held in captivity in Gaza. Whilst the festival is being celebrated around the world, Israeli and Diaspora communities continue to pray for a deal to secure the hostages release after 447 days. Hopes grew last week but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office blamed Hamas for no breakthrough after Israel’s negotiating team, which includes senior Mossad personnel, the ISA and IDF, returned from Qatar for ‘internal consultations’ following ‘significant’ negotiations. A statement on the eve of Chanukah noted: “The Hamas terrorist organisation continues to lie, is reneging on understandings that have already been reached, and is continuing to create difficulties in the negotiations. However, Israel will continue its relentless efforts to return all of our hostages.” Continued on page 4 President Isaac Herzog lights the menorah - credit GPO
