Prime Minister Naftali Bennett meets with Simcha and Leah Goldin, the parents of Hadar Goldin, the late IDF soldier whose body is being held by Hamas in Gaza.

According to the Prime Minister’s Office, Bennett told the Goldins that he will maintain regular contact with them and that his door is always open to them.

The Goldin family have been battling for the return of their son’s body since he was killed during the 2014 Israel-Gaza conflict. Leah accompanied then-president Reuven Rivlin on his farewell tour to the US last month to lobby the UN for his return.
