Ayelet Goldin, Chemi Goldin, and Tzur Goldin, the three siblings of Hadar Goldin, make a statement outside their parents’ Kfar Saba home ahead of tomorrow morning’s funeral for their brother, the fallen soldier whose body was brought home after 11 years of captivity in Gaza.
“Before the funeral tomorrow, I want to stop and say thank you to the Israeli nation,” says Ayelet. “Without you, Hadar wouldn’t be home.”
She says the fact that her brother was able to be returned after 11 years proves that Hamas knows where all the hostages are located.
She says there is no other option than to bring home every hostage, including the four still remaining in Gaza.
“These are Israel’s values. This is Israel. This is us,” she says.
She thanks all those who went out to protest with signs, those who made signs, those who stood at intersections and the Hostages Forum that organized every rally.
“We see the huge embrace of Israel from all over. It proves to us that Israeli society is in the right mindset, and we will recover,” she says.
