Bereaved mother slams PM over Gaza truce as cabinet mulls deal

The mother of a fallen IDF soldier whose remains are believed to be held by Hamas slams Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for considering a ceasefire agreement with Gaza’s rulers without first securing the release of her son’s body.

Leah Goldin slams Netanyahu in a Hadashot news interview while the prime minister met with his security cabinet to discuss the Egypt-brokered true.

She says the same cabinet that decided to send her son to Gaza four years ago during a truce with Hamas, when he was kidnapped and killed.

“These cabinet ministers out of some kind of unbearable chutzpah, are going to discuss this ceasefire? They haven’t even solved the first ceasefire yet, the one in which my son was kidnapped,” she tells the TV station.

She adds that Netanyahu is betraying the IDF and the country.
