From Hostage’s mother urges PM to use successes in north to bring about hostage deal
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEinav Zangauker, whose son Matan is held hostage by Hamas, says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is using the escalation in the north to hide a proposed deal to free the captives in Gaza.
At a weekly press conference alongside a group of hostage families, Zangauker questioned the prime minister’s UN General Assembly speech when he claimed Israel is “winning.”
“How are we winning if there are still 101 hostages tortured and dying in the tunnels of death? How are we winning if civilians and soldiers are held by an enemy for almost a year, because you decided to sacrifice them on the altar of preserving your rule?”
She called on Netanyahu to use the successes in the north to present an initiative for the return of the hostages.
