Mother of Israeli captive: We have no future here if my son is not saved
The mother of on Israeli captives said they have no future in the country if the government doesn't save her son, as anger among at Netanyahu grows after he said he would agree to a "partial deal" with Hamas that releases only some of the captives.
"I'm not someone who yells," Niva Wenkert, mother of captive Omer Wenkert, said at the Knesset finance committee on Monday, according to Haaretz.
"But on one day Netanyahu tells us that there's a deal on the table, and that the hostages will be released and the other day he says something different. How can I not go crazy?
"I'm a law-abiding citizen and a Zionist. But if my country doesn't save my son, we have no future here."
Gil Dickmann, a cousin of captive Carmel Gat, said Netanyahu was "sabotaging" his own deal with his remarks on Sunday.
"There was a deal that was supposed to bring them all back, and suddenly it turns out that the proposal that everyone except Netanyahu supports, is Netanyahu's own deal," Dickmann said.
"We don't understand it. Does this mean that [Israel] gave up on all the hostages? There's no partial deal. It's like a partial pregnancy or a partial victory. It's a complete failure," he added.
