Tel Aviv [Israel], January 24 (ANI/TPS): Tensions are rising in Israel as the names of four hostages, set to be released on Saturday as part of the second phase of the hostage release agreement, are expected to be revealed tonight.
In the meantime, representatives from the Hostages and Missing Families Forum are holding a press conference in Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square, urging Prime Minister Netanyahu to ensure the full implementation of the agreement with Hamas until the last hostage is returned.
Ayelet Samerano, mother of Yonatan Samerano, 21, who was kidnapped from the Nova Music Festival on October 7, 2023, and has since been held in Gaza, spoke at the press conference about the ongoing struggle.
“We started Sunday morning with news about Oron Shaul. After more than 10 years, Oron’s mother closes a circle. That same Sunday, while we’re processing this incredible closure, Romi, Emily, and Doron returned — those moments when they run to their mothers are what I and other families have been dreaming and imagining for 16 months,” she shared.
“I call from here to the Prime Minister and negotiating team — you’re doing excellent work — but please, do whatever is necessary to bring everyone back, to the last hostage. We ask you to ensure phase two of the deal is agreed upon before finishing the current phase. We cannot continue living in uncertainty. All hostages must return, and none of them has time left,” Samerano implored. (ANI/TPS)
