The mothers of hostages held by Palestinian terrorists in Gaza tear into Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for not securing the release of their loved ones from Hamas captivity.
The mother of Matan Zangauker charges that though Netanyahu knows the Gaza City offensive puts the hostages’ lives at risk, he “intentionally decided to condemn his citizens to death.”
“Netanyahu will forever be remembered as a murderer in order to remain in power,” says Einav Zangauker in remarks to the press by the Prime Minister’s Residence in Jerusalem.
The mother of hostage soldier Matan Angrest claims Netanyahu “will kill him as a human shield for his rule.”
“Netanyahu is sending soldiers to kill their brothers in captivity. He is sending Jews to kill Jews to preserve his rule,” says Anat Angrest.
Turning to IDF chief Eyal Zamir, Angrest says he knows that the operation in Gaza City could lead to captives’ deaths and that it’s possible to reach a deal securing the release of all the hostages.
“What type of commander are you? A soldier for Netanyahu who sends his subordinates to death traps?” she says.
