Reut Even-Tov, a relative of 79-year-old Hamas hostage Chaim Peri, is speaking at a Jerusalem demonstration calling for a hostage deal.
“In order to bring them back alive, we have to bring them back now. We are in a critical moment,” she says. “There is no picture of victory without the hostages.”
“Rambam wrote in the Mishneh Torah that ensuring the release of hostages comes before services and shelter to the poor,” she says, invoking medieval Jewish scholar Maimonides.
