Even today, my sons The families requested to come to the meeting of the Likud faction, and they
claim they were refused.

We were hoping that they would meet with us, but they continue to look for reasons not to do it. We will not stop and we will not stop until all the abductees return home, even If they don't want to hear us."
Nofer Buchstab, the sister of Yagav Buchstab, who was kidnapped in Gaza, told Walla!

"We come to the Knesset every week with the goal of talking. Not to fight. To tell the story and raise awareness, to tell about Yagave. To think how everyone who sits in the Knesset can help us bring him back. The first task of everyone who is in the Knesset should be to bring them back. There is no need to be intimidated them to talk to us. We also come to hear their opinions."
