Sister of slain IDF soldier Goldin outraged truce doesn’t include release of captives
Ayelet Kaufman, the sister of slain IDF soldier Hadar Goldin whose body is believed to be held by Hamas in Gaza, decries the fact that the ceasefire doesn’t include the return of her brother’s remains and other captives.
“We have been waiting seven years for a phone call that should have come at 2 a.m.,” she tells Army Radio, referring to the time when the truce entered effect.
“They didn’t talk to us, they didn’t even say ‘we tried,'” Kaufman laments, saying the country’s leaders are “unworthy.”
“I feel like we have lost it, that the truth has come out — the emperor doesn’t have any clothes.”
