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.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
