The family members of hostages joining Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his flight to New York for his speech to the United Nations are: Sharon Sharabi, brother of Yossi and Eli Sharabi; Eli Shtivi, whose son Idan was kidnapped from the Supernova festival; Yifat Haiman, whose 27-year-old daughter Inbar was murdered after being abducted from the party; Danny Miran, father of Omri, who was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nahal Oz, and Yizhar Lifschitz, whose 83-year-old father Oded was snatched from Kibbutz Nir Oz along with his wife, who was later freed.
The flight is slated to take off tomorrow but sources tell The Times of Israel that the chances of cancellation amid intensified fighting against Hezbollah in Lebanon are “50-50.”
