Einav Zangauker, the mother of Hamas hostage Matan Zangauker, charges that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has prioritized keeping his government together over the return of the captives seized by the Gaza-ruling terror group on October 7 last year.
“Why are they still in Gaza? Because of Netanyahu,” she says during a weekly demonstration in Tel Aviv, accusing the premier “of sacrificing the lives of the hostages to remain in power.”
“We will never give up,” she adds, referring to the efforts to free the hostages.
