The wife of hostage Omri Miran calls on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to meet her after he declared this week that “total victory” over Israel’s enemies is a more important war goal than returning the hostages.
“The victory over our enemies is the return of the hostages,” writes Lishay Miran Lavi on X. “As long as our enemies have hostages in their hands, they are defeating us anew every day.”
“There will be no rebirth or rehabilitation, we won’t achieve victory or be able to celebrate independence with a full heart, without every Jewish mother knowing the State of Israel will not abandon its children in enemy captivity,” she adds.
