“We demand that no move be taken that endangers the fate of our family member, and that every action takes their well-being into account,” said Leshem Gonen.
Israel should consider the release of all the Hamas prisoners in exchange for Hamas freeing all the kidnapped Israelis it holds in Gaza, representatives of the kidnapped said at a rally in Tel Aviv on Saturday night, after a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“All of us here saw the tanks going into Gaza, and we are very worried,” said Merav Leshem Gonen, who read a statement from the families after the meeting.“We demand that no move be taken that endangers the fate of our family member”
“We came out of a meeting of two hours with the Prime Minister; it was very painful, and very clear things were said from the representatives of the families with an unequivocal demand that the [IDF’s] operations’ activities weigh the fate of the kidnapped; the responsibility for this is on the government of Israel,” said Leshem Gonen, whose daughter Rumi was kidnapped from the music festival near Kibbutz Re’im on October 7. “We demand that no move be taken that endangers the fate of our family members, and that every action takes their well-being into account,” she said.
