The mother of Tamir Adar, who was taken hostage from Kibbutz Nir Oz and then killed in Gaza, calls on the government to “wake up.”

“Every day that passes endangers those who are surviving,” Yael Adar says. “Wake up, government of Israel, wake up, the only job you have is to get them back.”

“I won’t forget and I won’t forgive,” she continues. “Government of Israel, the onus is on you for what happened on your watch.”
