Hila Rotem Shoshani, 13, who returned to Israel from Gaza yesterday (Saturday night), said in the second phase at the hospital that her mother Raya had been held captive by her side, and that she had been separated from her only two days before returning to Israel.
This was against the backdrop of Hamas claims that the mother had not been located. In so doing, Hamas violated the agreement according to which children would be released with their mothers. The testimony of 13-year-old Hila reveals the mask of lies and manipulations employed by the terrorist organization against the State of Israel and its citizens, as well as with the wider world.
Raya and her daughter Hila were abducted together with Emily Hand (9), the neighbor's daughter who was staying with them in their home in Kibbutz Bari. Hila's father, Rami Shoshani, was waiting for her in Israel, but the question that arises now is when the mother will be released.
After Hila Shoshani's mother Raya remained in captivity and was not released yesterday along with her daughter, Israel says "heavy pressure is being exerted for her release." When contacted by Israel Hayom, the Prime Minister's Office's Headquarters for POWs and MIAs said: "We have been working with the mediator since we learned of the delay in the release of the mother (Raya Rotem), and are exerting heavy pressure for the mother's immediate release. We will not rest and will not rest until you return to Israel soon."
Since the publication of the list of those released yesterday, Gal Hirsch has been in contact with the family and explained to them the situation and the efforts being made to bring the mother back.
