Mother of Israeli captive hopeful amid reports of breakthrough in truce talks
Einav Zangauker, the mother of a 24-year-old Israeli captive, urged Netanyahu to sign a truce deal with Hamas amid reports that the Palestinian group has dropped demands for an upfront Israeli commitment for a permanent ceasefire.
The mother of Matan Zangaukar said in Tel Aviv: “For the first time in many months, we feel hope… This is an opportunity that cannot be missed.”
She went on to address Netanyahu and said, “We’ve seen how you’ve torpedoed deals again and again at the moment of truth. Don’t you dare break our hearts again.”
