Families of hostages held in Gaza lash out, following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s video in which he suggested a breakthrough in hostage negotiations may be announced “today or tomorrow” — a statement that the Prime Minister’s Office later attempted to walk back.
“We feel like we’re being abused,” Channel 12 quotes the families as saying. “Every comment like this makes our already broken hearts leap. The expectation when it comes to such a sensitive subject is that they will show the minimum sensitivity and choose their words carefully.”
Einav Zangauker, mother of hostage Matan Zangauker, adds: “This is psychological terrorism against the families.”
“Netanyahu is abusing us day and night, while my Matan is alone in the tunnel,” she tells Channel 12, echoing the growing anguish voiced by many of the relatives.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
