The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Gen. Yoav Mordechai told ambassadors from EU nations that "He is shocked by their inaction and lack of interest regarding the humanitarian matter of IDF soldier's bodies being held by Hamas in Gaza."
Mordechai added that "While Israel is working to alleviate the humanitarian situation for the people of Gaza, it is only natural that we expect international pressure be applied to solve the Israeli humanitarian issue."
