"I am doing everything for my father to return. He was held captive by murderers for 124 days, do you even know what one day there is? Why did I, a 16-year-old girl, have to be buried alive in this place for two months? I am alive and breathing, but in my soul I was murdered. You Do you know what it is that makes a terrorist stare at you for hours with murderous eyes, deathly afraid that I will be raped, and only to shut up and wait."

Thank you for taking me out, but what about my father who is abandoned anew every day that passes, not knowing if he will live or die, if he will survive the day.

"I want to contact my prime minister and his family," she said.
"I was there, I felt there, I hurt there. But I was released. My friends, the boys and girls I raised, are still there. I think that some of them have not survived anymore, because they were moved from place to place without even being able to move. I know that they are not receiving the necessary medication, that they I am no longer where I was. Netanyahu, everything is in your hands. You are the one who can. I am very afraid and fear that if you continue with this line of Mitut Hamas there will be no prisoners left to release."

He is gone. Please, I will ask again and again, release the captives, Leave Hamas for tomorrow. I fear for their lives and their fate and fear that we will have nothing to pass down to our grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Please, I know you can."
