Mr. Prime Minister, I was there, I know.
I know what they feel, I know what they are going through.
I know about the suffocation, the hunger, the thirst, the pain, the fear and the paralyzing terror, the sleepless nights, the days of sorrow and anxiety.
I also know that if I had stayed there another week I am not sure I would have survived.
Mr. Prime Minister, when I was there I did not know.
I didn't know if I would survive the hunger, the horrors, the bombings.
I didn't know if I would get out of there alive, I didn't know if I would see my daughters, my beloved husband, my family and my friends.
And yet, even there in captivity, what kept me going was the knowledge that the state would do everything to bring us all back home.
The knowledge that I wasn't opkar is what kept me alive.
Then I was freed, I was received with warmth and love, by the people of Israel who wrapped my daughters, also wrapped me with tenderness and compassion and I had the real knowledge that in a short time I would be reunited with my husband and with all the abductees, they would all return to their homes and be reunited with their loved ones.
But now, precisely after I was released, I don't know.
I don't know what the condition of the abductees is now, I don't know if they have food and medicine, I don't know what they are wearing on these cold days when they are in dark and dark tunnels, I don't know how they survive so many days without sleep, I don't know how they are My fan, I also don't know what efforts are being made to return all the abductees home.
I don't know what your and the cabinet members' considerations are.
"To receive a sign of life".

Two weeks after I was released, I told you what I went through in captivity, I told you about the difficult conditions that prevail there.
I also told you about the last time I saw my loving husband when he was forcibly taken out of our house, shot in the shoulder and whispering in pain that he was having trouble breathing.
Prime Minister, I looked into your eyes and you looked into mine and nodded.
Mr. Prime Minister, I do not know what this nod means, I do not know what your and the cabinet's considerations are and I do not know what you mean when you say "we are making all efforts".
I do know that I didn't think it would be so long before I would meet a fan, the love of my life, again.
I also know that you and the cabinet must not miss any opportunity to bring back all the abductees alive.
Most of all, I know that I will not be able to witness 136 coffins being returned to Israel.
Mr. Prime Minister, end this saga that shook my life and all the citizens of the country, return my husband's fan and all the abductees to me now!
The writer was released from Gaza, her husband is a Hamas sympathizer.
I didn't think it would take long until I met my love who was a prisoner in Gaza.
