PM Netanyahu: The four coffins of our loved ones oblige us more than ever to promise, to swear, that what happened on October 7 will never happen again.
The voice of the blood of our loved ones cries out to us from the earth. It obliges us to come to terms with the vile murderers - and we will come to terms with them!"

Israeli Defense Minister Katz: The heart of the entire nation mourns today. Hamas kidnapped, Hamas murdered, Hamas will be destroyed. We will take revenge on our enemies and secure our future.

Journalist Amit Segel: "A culture of murder that kidnaps children and then trades in their bodies."

The head of the Israel Druze community, Sheikh Mufak Tarif: "There is no human being who does not feel the pain of the difficult moments of returning the bodies of the four kidnapped. The sight of the four coffins is one of the most moving moments in the life of the Israeli nation. My heart goes out to the families who have not known rest for over 500 days, hoping for the return of their loved ones alive - but were disappointed when they received the bad news. There is no price equal to a human life. Everything, literally everything, must be done to return them all now."

MK Dan Illoz on the lobby to close UNRWA: "How did the human animals that committed these atrocities become like this? They were raised like this – by UNRWA, which educates in hatred, collaborates with Hamas, and perpetuates terror. The Knesset has already determined: UNRWA has no place in Israel, but the struggle is not over yet. This lobby is here to ensure that all of its institutions are closed and every connection is severed."

Former Israeli Ambassador to the UN Erdan: Even in Nazi Germany, there were Germans who saved Jews. Not a single Gazan saved a single hostage. Many many 'innocent' Gazans took part in the kidnapping & murder and many more came out today and on October 7th to celebrate the return of Jewish babies in coffins.  We cannot live side by side with Hamas and their collaborators.

Israel Minister of Diaspora and Combating Antisemitism, Amichai Chikli: One of the West's greatest failures is its refusal to acknowledge the existence of pure evil. We have raised generations to believe that monsters exist only in fairy tales, that there is no true right or wrong, and that all cultures are equal. And then comes this accursed day, a day of horror and shame, when an elderly man, a mother, and her two children: Oded Lipschitz, Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir Bibas—who were slaughtered by Hamas terrorists, paraded like trophies before a cheering, flag-waving crowd in Gaza. Pure evil.

Geert Wilders, Chairman of Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV): Hamas scum. The parading of bodies with music and disrespect. They have no honor and know only hate. 

Arab Human Rights Activist Bessem Eid: To my Palestinian brothers and sisters watching Hamas hand over the bodies of Israeli hostages: recognize the sacrifices Israel is making to return its hostages, dead and alive, and realize that your government would never do the same for you.

Rep. Ritchie Torres: There is no moral universe in which a terrorist organization of baby-killers can remain in power. None. Every vestige of Hamas must be eradicated from the face of the earth.  The acceptance of anything less is an unforgivable moral failure.

Writer and journalist Seth Frantzman: What's interesting is that Hamas thinks this is heroic, to kidnap and kill children. It's also interesting that Hamas is hosted by a major non-NATO ally...and is backed by a NATO member as well. 

Ihab Hassan, Palestinian Christian: There is no heroism in standing beside the coffins of babies, women, and the elderly while you hold a weapon. This is pure cowardice and vile depravity.

Ben Shapiro: "Anybody who suggests that Israel's war in Gaza is not, in fact, justified, is morally blind at best, and complicit in evil, much more likely."

Hayder Alasadi - Founder CEO of the Iraqi-Israeli Association of Peace: As Iraqi & Arab, I am surprised by the lack of humanity in this world when A mother, her 9 months old baby & 4 years old child, will be returning in casket to their homes in front of the world’s media, after being kidnapped by Hamas terrorists since October 7th, while no one of this world doing anything to protect these innocent Jews! 

Rawan Osman Lebanese-Syrian/German activist advocating peace in the Middle East: Who on earth kidnaps a nine-month year old baby — and then returns them dead? The world let the Bibas family down! 

John McGuirk, editor, Ireland: It will forever boggle my mind that there exists an organisation that can kidnap 1 and 3 year old babies, kill them, parade their coffins on stage to cheering crowds of civilians, and still be considered the victims by morons in the west.

The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia: What we saw today in Gaza is a disgrace to Islam, an act of blasphemy against Allah, and a sin that does not represent the followers of the Prophet, peace be upon him, or the honorable religion of Islam.  The path of Islam commands respect, even for non-Muslim deceased.  Today, Hamas has stepped outside the definition of Islam.

Dalia Ziada - Egyptian exile & Political Analyst: The murder of these innocent kids and their mother is so heartbreaking, and those who are trying to justify it by comparing it to the victims of the war in Gaza are just disgusting anti-semitic manipulators who openly or secretly approve of Hamas terrorism. 

Karim Gahin - CEO of Vienna Training Academy Education & Training & Development: Who would do this, celebrate this, sing and dance on the corpses of a mother and her children, regardless of their religion or nationality? Scenes the Nazis did not do.

Erin Molan, Australia TV host: Wasn’t the brutal kidnapping and killing of a mother, baby and toddler enough for these sadistic evil terrorists? I can’t comprehend what I just watched occur… It’s time. Destroy them.
