Outside PM’s residence, hostage’s mother says ‘there is no place hot enough in hell’ for Netanyahu

The mother of Matan Zangauker says “there is no place hot enough in hell” for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while speaking outside the premier’s official residence in Jerusalem.

Addressing thousands of demonstrators in the capital demanding a hostage-ceasefire deal, Einav Zangauker recounts the past few days spent outside Netanyahu’s private residence nearby, in a protest encampment set up by hostage families to oppose the IDF’s ground operation in Gaza City.

“I also shouted this week on Azza Street, for a comprehensive deal and end to the war, but Netanyahu shuts his house windows — there is no place hot enough in hell for this leader!” she tells the crowd.

Many hostage families fear that the operation to take over Gaza City may end up putting their loved ones in greater danger, with Hamas members claiming the terror group is holding captives in different neighborhoods throughout the area.

“At the same time that I heard — and also felt — the explosions on my Matan this week, [Bezalel] Smotrich and [Itamar] Ben Gvir fantasized about building cities and real estate in Gaza!” she says, referring to the far-right government ministers.

“My son… has become a victim of the Netanyahu government; he is sacrificing him to stay in power.”

Protesters gathered outside the premier’s residence in Paris Square hold a giant banner that is visible from above, addressed to US President Donald Trump, which reads: “President Trump, be our savior!” alongside a yellow ribbon.
