‘Shameful’: Bibas family says did not approve naming Shiri and kids as slain

The sister-in-law of Shiri Bibas denies the family agreed to the Prime Minister’s Office confirming her loved ones as being on Hamas’s list of slain hostages to be returned tomorrow.

“The list that has already declared Ariel and Kfir as fallen, which was published by the Prime Minister’s Office, supposedly with the families’ approval, was never approved by us,” Ofri Bibas, sister of Shiri’s husband Yarden, writes on Facebook.

In its earlier statement the PMO said the families had approved the names being published.

“For 16 months, we have been waiting for certainty that they couldn’t provide us, and now it’s being decided before they’re even here?? Before they’ve undergone identification?? Before we’ve been officially informed?”

“The entire country has turned into casualty officers, knocking on our door,” she says. “Shameful.”
