Reserve pilots who publicly called for securing the release of hostages, even at the cost of ending the Nakba, would be dismissed from the IDF. "Any active reservist who signed the letter will not be able to continue serving in the IDF," in response to a letter signed by around 1,000 reserve and retired pilots. The letter was published on a full page in multiple daily newspapers, directly challenging the policy of war criminal PM Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu had it in his power in Oct 2023 to free the Israeli captives taken by the muqawama simply by releasing any of the thousands of Palestinians who were being held in military detention without trial or hearing prior to 7 Oct 2023. Netanyahu completed two prisoner exchanges in Nov 2023, then used the Gaza War to delay his corruption trial and weaken the Democratic Party in the 2024 Presidential election. Six million antiwar voters stay home from disgust on 5 Nov 2024, sealing Trumpf's win.
