Yaffe Issachar, Naama's mother, in response to the PM's speech last night: "I will make worlds for Naama to know that you will release her. Naama is sad and ready for her fifth appeal and I am sure that when she tells her that you said you will bring her from Russia she will smile and she will be hopeful. To be in Israel on Chanukah. "
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's statement on Issachar's case came after a letter sent by Yaffe Issachar, Naama's mother to the prime minister, stating, "Na'ama stitched a file from the first moment. It was marked as a political asset, solely for being an Israeli civilian with an IDF combat background. I wish for a moment, when the court judges would accept Naama's appeal, for the cops to open the degrading glass door so Naama would have to sit handcuffed, and tell Naama - her freedom. "
It would be nice and well done before the court hearing
Yaffe Issachar added that "All I do is go to her, hug her mother's hug and tell her I'm sorry it took me so long to get her out of this nightmare." She signed her letter at trial saying, "I pray and wish that Naama would come to Israel and light a first Chanukah candle with you."
Remember, the beginning of the case, in April this year, was when Naama Issachar made her way to Israel at the end of a trip to India. She landed in Moscow on a Connecticut flight, and then discovered 9.6-gram Indian cannabis dogs in a suitcase she sent to the plane's stomach. She was arrested on charges of possession and drug trafficking and sentenced to 7 years in prison.
First to mark together with Naama Issachar's mother
On the eve of her sentence, it was learned that in the Israeli prison, a Russian hacker named Alexei Burkov was charged with illegal cyberattacks on American sites. Sources in Israel accepted a "prisoner exchange" offer with Russia - under which Naama will be returned to Israel and Burkov will be returned to Russia - but this was rejected on the grounds that his extradition to the United States was irreversible, and he was extradited to the United States last month. The states.
In the meantime, dozens of travelers from Israel have been detained in recent days at Domodedovo Airport in Moscow prior to their entry into Russia, regardless of the airline with which they arrived in the country. According to passenger reports, they are taken to a separate room, where a careful examination of their belongings is conducted and their passports are taken. Only today, dozens of Israelis who were released only after several hours were detained at the airport.
