Einav Zangauker: Netanyahu is ‘angel of death’ dragging Israel to ‘political war’ that will kill hostages and soldiers

At a weekly press conference in Tel Aviv, Einav Zangauker, whose son Matan is held hostage in Gaza, denounces Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as “the angel of death” for captives.

Zanguaker says, “Netanyahu is dragging us to a political war that will lead to the death of hostages and soldiers,” as the military initiates a new operation in the Gaza Strip aimed at defeating Hamas.

She says that ceasefire-hostage release deal negotiators, currently in Doha, have a duty to reach a deal to bring back all the hostages.

Zangauker expresses concern for those held in Gaza, surrounded by “explosions that will lead only to the death of hostages.”

Calling out to her son, Zangauker says, “I know you are alone now, we both know that the prime minister is doing everything so that you won’t return alive. But I want you to know, your mother is fighting for you! The people of Israel are fighting for you!”

“Also, President [Donald] Trump and his envoy [Steve] Witkoff are fighting for you and all the hostages, fighting the prime minister who has turned into the angel of death for hostages,” she says.
