It’s been more than 100 days since war’s been raging here in Israel.
The government keeps telling its citizens that its main goal is to bring the hostages held by Hamas back home alive. Yet there are still 136 Israeli citizens imprisoned in Gaza in horrible conditions. Their loved ones have been demonstrating in cities all over Israel, demanding that the hostages be brought home as soon as possible, no matter the price.
Marking the 100 days since the captives were taken hostage, I met with Yitskhak Horn, an Argentinian-born Israeli, whose sons Yair and Eitan are both being held hostage in Gaza. In our talk, which was in Yiddish, he describes how he discovered that his sons had been kidnapped and the unbearable situation for all families of the hostages, not knowing the fate of their loved ones. He also addresses viewers abroad, letting them know how they can help the families cope.
