PM phones Goldin family, calls son a hero
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls Simcha and Leah Goldin, the parents of slain Givati Brigade officer Hadar Goldin — who was initially thought kidnapped Friday morning — telling them that he was a “great hero.”
“I know that you’re going through horrible agony, the feeling that a part of you was taken away and that you’re no longer complete,” Netanyahu tells the bereaved parents. “These are feelings impossible to calm in an instant. I hope that you will take comfort in the fact that in his death he sustained the people of Israel in their struggle for independence.”
— Raphael Ahren
