Hospital says it’s not to blame for freed hostage’s remarks
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIchilov Hospital is attempting to deflect blame after a press conference by freed hostage Yocheved Lifshitz turned into a debacle, with the octogenarian describing her treatment in Hamas’s hands in positive terms.
“Ichilov was asked to allow the hostage and her family and the media to speak in an organized and coordinated way. Coaching the family regarding the style and content of the messages is not our responsibility, but that of official security and PR figures, who have been in direct contact with the family,” it says.
