Cousin of murdered hostage Carmel Gat apologizes to her for failing to bring her home alive

Gil Dickmann, a cousin of murdered hostage Carmel Gat, apologizes to her for his failing to bring her back home alive after her body was recovered from a tunnel in Gaza.

“I wish that you saw and heard us. I wish that, even though you saw the terrible murder of your mother Kinneret with your own eyes, you discovered that your father Eshel, your brothers Alon and Or, your brother-in-law Yarden, and niece Gefen survived. I wish you saw how your friends fought to bring you back alive,” he writes on X.

“I wish you didn’t hear the prime minister say he thinks that the Philadelphi Corridor is more important than your life and the lives of the rest of the hostages. I can only imagine how that filled you with rage,” he says

Dickmann wishes that in her memory, thousands will protest tonight, “as you would have done,” and hopes that other hostages can be saved by a deal.

סליחה, כרמלי.

סליחה שלא עצרנו כשעוד היה אפשר.
סליחה שנתנו להם להרוג אותך.

הלוואי שראית ושמעת אותנו. הלוואי שלמרות שראית בעיניים את הרצח הנורא של אמא כנרת, גילית שאבא אשל ואחייך אלון ואור, הגיסה שלך ירדן והאחיינית שלך גפן, שרדו. הלוואי שראית איך החברות שלך נאבקו כדי שתחזרי… pic.twitter.com/Fm3WZbGXqp
