In a media statement posted on the Opposition party's Facebook page on Wednesday , it also “called for the immediate return of all Israeli hostages captured” by Hamas during its attacks on Israel on Oct 7. Palestinian militant group launched a highly coordinated attack on various parts of Israel on Oct 7, killing some 1,300 people and taking about 200 more as hostages into Gaza.
WP said that its statement came after it received “many emails” and feedback from Singaporeans calling for an immediate end to hostilities and the delivery of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. “The killing of non-combatants, women and children by any country or organisation, in the name of war, deserves no less than absolute condemnation,” said WP.
