"Need help to get out of here."

"I am surrounded by three dangerous families who are capable of burning my family and me without hesitation. I have to get out of here, I need help to get out of here."

These things she said to Walla!

Amina, mother of Rabab Abu Siam, who was murdered in Lod in front of her daughters three months ago.

In the conversation, she talks about the fear, the threats her family receives and their urgent need to move to another apartment, to protect their lives.

Amina told how Rabab's ex-wife, who is suspected of ordering her murder, told her that he "bought the whole neighborhood", and that she was under surveillance 24 hours a day.

"At the time we didn't take him seriously enough," she says.

"You can't believe it. We were surrounded by people we thought were protecting us. Those we thought were protecting us betrayed us."

"Those we thought were protecting us betrayed us."

She referred to Hader Mosrati, Mousa Aliva and Amir Abu Ghanem, all residents of the neighborhood who live near her, who were arrested this week on suspicion of involvement in her daughter's murder.

"The Aliva family lives across the road, I put a door next to me and Abu Ganam above me," she says.

According to her, her house and she will even be included in Moserati's wedding: "We did weddings for all the brothers and sisters."

About Abu Ghanem she said: "I know this family. I know his mother, his sisters, I did their weddings. Look where we have come. For what? Money? Rabab grew up with him like a sister."

Aliva is the cousin of Rabab's ex-wife.

Amina says that Rabab came to the neighborhood at the age of three.

"The neighborhood where she lived for thirty years betrayed her. You don't understand how hard it is to go out and see all the neighbors. They sold her for money."

According to her, she was neglected and she needs help "to get out of here so that I don't have to look them in the eye every morning".

She shares her fear that if the detainees are convicted, they will blame her for speaking to the media and making noise and will hurt her and the family: "'You are not like any mother,' they told me. There are murders all the time, but no mother speaks. I am looking for justice for my daughter I'm not afraid for myself, but I'm afraid for my children and granddaughters. The state has abandoned me, surrounded by threats."

She talks about her helplessness: "I don't know what to do, I'm tired, I'm in this fight alone. I don't have the strength. I want to wake up in the morning and take my granddaughters to school unsupervised."

According to her, after the murder she went to the cemetery and saw two black cars following her and taking pictures of her.

"I don't know who, but it's getting too much. They're looking for me. What have I already done? Because I'm talking? I won't keep quiet for Rabab. If he (the divorced man) thinks that money can kill me too, he'll end up dealing with God."

According to Amina, her other daughters and granddaughters are also afraid to leave the house: "We are in the middle of the neighborhood in the whole den of wolves just like this. My husband and my family left us. They said they were afraid and that we are alone in this war alone. That is the situation. We are completely alone."
