National Unity party chief Benny Gantz says “the heart aches” with the news of the passing of Liora Argamani.

Gantz says Argamani was “a symbol for the fact that there is no time — for the hostages, and for those waiting for them at home.”

“After Operation Arnon [in which Noa Argamani was rescued] we were all moved, both for Noa who would be able to see her mother again, and for Liora who was able to be reunited with her daughter before leaving this world,” he says.

“We will not forget and not rest from our moral obligation to act to return all 120 hostages to their families.”
