At rally outside Netanyahu’s home, hostage mother tells him to stop wearing yellow hostages pin because he plainly doesn’t care

Anat Angrest and Viki Cohen, whose sons Matan Angrest and Nimrod Cohen are held captive by Hamas in Gaza, decry Israel’s leadership at a rally near the prime minister’s residence.

“Every day of footdragging they die a little more… the hostages cannot wait for your speeches, your explanations, your excuses,” says Cohen onstage in Jerusalem, addressing Netanyahu. “If you actually cared, my child would be at home.”

She tells him to stop wearing the yellow hostages pin and “stop saying that you are with us, because if you were really with us, and really cared about us, I’d have a son at home.”

Behind the two mothers is a line of protesters wearing chains to signify the “hell that the hostages are enduring in Gaza,” in the words of the rally’s emcee.

Angrest calls on Netanyahu to sign a deal to return the hostages. “Only you can return them tomorrow morning, it’s in your hands to decide,” she says.
