Former hostage Liat Atzili calls on President Isaac Herzog to publicly call out Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for abandoning the hostages still in Gaza.
“Your silence will haunt you,” Atzili says in an address at a ceremony memorializing former president Shimon Peres.
She accuses Netanyahu of blocking the one thing that can save the hostages — a ceasefire deal.
“We’re a people without a state, citizens without a leader,” Atzili laments.
