The Jamaica Coalition for a Healthy Society is cautiously welcoming the return of Israeli hostages from Gaza, calling it a moment of relief after immense tragedy.
The group, however, stresses the urgent need for the immediate return of all remaining hostages’ bodies and a permanent cessation of hostilities.
JCHS expresses concern over the release of Palestinian prisoners convicted of multiple murders, warning that lasting peace cannot come at the cost of rewarding terrorism.
The coalition reaffirms Jamaica’s principled support for Israel, emphasizing dialogue, diplomacy, and continued cooperation while honoring the lives lost and advocating for justice and security.
