Einav Zanguker, whose son Matan is held hostage in Gaza, threatens to intensify demonstrations for a deal to end the war and return the captives if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not come back from his trip to the United States with an agreement.
“In contrast to the campaign of lies by the angel of sabotage, Netanyahu, there are 48 families whose loved ones are in captivity, and everyone needs to return, not just those he addressed,” Zangauker says at a weekly press conference in Tel Aviv, accusing the prime minister of torpedoing every chance for a deal in the past two years.
“If you sabotage another agreement, we will haunt you until the end of time,” she says. “I am looking at you in the eyes, Netanyahu. If you come back without an agreement, an indescribable hell is waiting for you here. The demonstrations and the strikes in recent weeks will look like child’s play.”
