Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday in his Twitter account that "I spoke today on the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin about Iran and the situation in Syria. I once again asked the President to bring Naama Issachar's release. Good. "
More on:
• Appeals and political pressure: the options that Naama Issachar faces
• Concern: Naama Issachar will be taken to Siberia prison
• Russia: The court rejected Naama Issachar's appeal
Shortly thereafter, Issachar's mother, beautifully, responded and thanked the prime minister for not letting go and working resolutely to bring her daughter home. "Mr. Netanyahu, I want to personally tell you that after Naama's personal insistence over the last few days, she got to light a Chanukah candle in a Russian prison with a Chabad envoy, Rabbi Shia Deutsch, and eat a donut."
Mother continued: "Naama wanted to congratulate herself on the Chanukah candles and prayed for the blessing that our lives will do in Israel. Israel and the Jewish people, before moving to a very remote prison in Russia in the coming days would make it difficult for me to visit it. "
