Hadar Goldin's family has made the difficult but necessary decision to finally lay their son to rest after 8 long years, accepting the remains being returned by Hamas without concessions from Israel. While the pain of losing Hadar, who was killed in action bravely defending his country, will never fully heal, the family is doing the right thing by providing a proper burial and place to mourn and honor Hadar's sacrifice.
Israel's resolute stance against negotiating with terrorists or releasing prisoners in exchange for hostages or remains sends a clear message: Hamas' abhorrent tactic of holding fallen IDF soldiers will not be rewarded. The government is wise to draw a firm line and not capitulate to Hamas' cynical attempts to exploit the Goldin family's profound loss for political gain.
Moving forward, Israel must remain steadfast in its commitment to never leave a soldier behind while also refusing to incentivize hostage taking through concessions. The immeasurable value placed on every individual life is a defining virtue of Israeli society. At the same time, rewarding Hamas' cruel and inhumane behavior would only encourage more of it, ultimately leading to more Israeli suffering.
Hadar Goldin gave his life upholding his sacred duty to defend Israel and the Jewish people. His family, through their principled and selfless decision, is ensuring his death was not in vain. May Hadar's memory forever be a blessing and an inspiration for the kind of character, courage and sacrifice that makes the IDF one of the world's most exceptional and admired militaries.
