The Hostage and Missing Families Forum calls on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “to publicly and firmly denounce the dangerous incitement against hostage families,” after a man was arrested for making online threats against the mother of Hamas captive Matan Zangauker.

“The hostage families have faced indescribable suffering for what is already 11 months of incessant worry for the fate of their loved ones,” the group says in a statement, adding that Einav Zangauker filed a police statement against the suspect this morning.
