Einav Zangauker, the mother of hostage Matan Zangauker and a prominent voice in the fight to secure a deal for the release of those held captive in the Gaza Strip, is prevented from entering the Knesset for a second week.
She arrives at the Knesset in Jerusalem accompanied by opposition lawmakers but is not permitted to enter.
In a statement, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum demands Zanguaker be permitted to enter the parliament.
“Every family member must be allowed to cry out for themselves and their family members in front of the decision-makers and elected officials who are responsible for the fate of the 100 hostages,” the forum says.
Last week, the Knesset Spokesperson’s Office said Zangauker has, “despite her repeated promises, continued to seriously violate order.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
