Matan Tsengauker was kidnapped from his home in Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7.
He has been held captive by Hamas for 123 days.
Sad to meet such a driver
Einav told the morning news on channel 12: "This is a really exciting event, I did not expect such a reaction. Since October 7, I have only experienced empathy, sympathy and love from all shades of the political spectrum. Yesterday it was sad to meet such a driver. I am more than sure that he does not represent the opinion of the majority ".
She also said that she decided to block the Begin road in front of the Kariya in coordination with the Israel Police.
"I announced that I was staying to sleep with my daughters until Matan returned from captivity," described Einav.

"We left one lane open, as requested. When we came to open the lane for that driver, he opened the front window and started yelling at me that if I want my son back home, I'm interfering with the prime minister from doing his job. He said it's best if I sit at home quietly, so Not to hinder the moves from happening, and that I'm left-handed. Very puzzling."
"I told him that he is welcome to come and spend the long hours, days and months with me without Matan. Nights without sleep, without food. I was also kidnapped. I live in thin air and do not function for the two girls who need me, but they know it is to bring Matan home together with All the abductees."
