Among the lucky ones who managed to board a flight from abroad and return to their families in Israel was media personality Ofira Asayag, who landed in Israel yesterday (Sunday) after celebrating her 50th birthday in Dubai straight into an "iron sword" war and spared no harsh words against the prime minister, even calling on him to resign.
"I returned to Israel with sad pain. 600 murdered," Asayag wrote in a story she shared with her more than a million Instagram followers last night (the story was posted before the data was updated). "I call on you, Mr. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to give them back as hard as you can," she demanded. "Dozens missing, thousands injured and more serious than we are capable of. I call on you, Bibi, to erase Gaza and then resign from your position and let us know that the pain and damage you left here will never be forgotten. Bring the captives and missing home. Mr. Prime Minister, you will not leave one name or another, God forbid. If it were Yair Netanyahu, you would enter Gaza physically, right? So act as if the abductees are your children. That's it. No more and no less, you will return the abductees to us today. Not tomorrow and not the day after. Today. 700 murdered, 2,200 wounded. Wipe Gaza off the map!"

Later, she also referred to the heartbreaking press conference held last night by the families of the prisoners. "The press conference of the families of the missing is heartbreaking to pieces," she cried. "How can it be that no one from this crazy government is contacting them? Phone, meeting, word, piece of attitude. These are war crimes. The children have been held captive for 36 hours. Give them back their children."
