Winners express a touching message: “Throughout human history, wars have happened, but Humanity has always drawn a line between military action and war crimes.

Nobel Prizes-Children's Liberation-Hamas

In addition to their voice, they highlight that “During the attack, Hamas kidnapped hundreds of Israeli soldiers and civilians, including children ranging in age from 6 months to 18 years. Children should never be considered pawns in a theater of war.”

Nobel Prize laureates claim that “the soul of a child is different from the soul of an adult. It is our duty to protect the innocent and protect the vulnerable. Our duty is to save our children. “The sad images and words we witness today evoke memories of darker times, times that we, as humanity as a collective, hoped to leave behind.”

Signatories of the petition announce definitely that the abduction and imprisonment of children is a war crime and deep moral injustice against humanity as a whole. His message ends with a loud demand: “Let the children go.”

Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan: “After the barbaric massacre carried out by Hamas, which tragically claimed the lives of children, women and the elderly, the UN appears to have moved away from its core mission of preventing and combating horrors and war crimes. “The United Nations has apparently lost sight of suffering of Israeli citizens, including the abduction of innocent children and infants. This represents the United Nations’ last opportunity to demonstrate its relevance and humanity. I implore the Secretary-General to recognize the deep importance of the lives of abducted children, to the extent that their well-being resonates deeply in his soul, and that he is unwavering in his commitment to prioritizing innocent children abducted by terrorists before helping those in Gaza who support the barbaric terrorist violence. a passionate moral compass, and I sincerely implore you to heed his message with all your heart.”
