Freed abductee Aviva Siegel, whose husband Keith is being held captive by Hamas, spoke this evening (Saturday) at a rally in the Kidnapped Square in Tel Aviv, and harshly criticized the government following the shuffling in negotiations on a hostage deal. There is talk of heavy prices, and 100 abductees struggle to breathe in dark tunnels. You talk about waiting until the conditions are right, and two sweet kids just want to see their daddy. You are messing with unimportant laws and acting like the negotiations are child's play," Siegel said at the rally.
Siegel shared her feelings when she was a prisoner in Gaza: "I would look around me, see the terrorists with their long guns, I would see the cracks in the walls, I would look at the frightened girls next to me and ask myself what am I doing here? What are we doing here? How do the days pass and even No one is getting us out of here. I felt like I was nothing. Luckily I was kidnapped with Keith, my husband who helped me relax and gave me the feeling that I wasn't alone. He was there for me 100 percent, and if I was going to be kidnapped to Gaza then it was with Keith, and now what am I to him? What Am I for myself? What am I for my family? I have no idea."

Aviva turned to the elected officials and said: "My heart, my husband's and the whole country's are broken into pieces. Whole families, whole circles are suffocating here with fear, and where is your heart? Where are your values? Do your job, take responsibility. Do you hear me Bibi? I don't I know if my husband is alive, don't talk about victory or military pressure, nothing will work. You must not return the delegation from Qatar without a deal."

Prison survivor Raz Ben Ami also spoke on the stage of the rally. Raz's husband, Ohad Ben Ami, is still being held captive by Hamas in Gaza. "I am Raz Ben Ami and after 54 endless days in Hamas captivity - I want to say thank you for coming back, thank you for standing here tonight and thank you to the people of Israel who have embraced and supported me in an extraordinary way since I returned. I stand here in front of you, because I came back from captivity. My body is back from captivity, but my soul remained there in Gaza. I cannot return to a life without my dear Ohad Ishii, and the father of our daughters, I cannot accept the idea that my fans and 133 other abductees were left behind, in the terrible suffering of Gaza.
"I returned, but I did not Sleeps at night, with the knowledge that Ohad is still in Gaza. The strength is running out, there is no rest for the soul, and there is no rest for the body. I was there. believe me They don't have time, they don't have air and they don't have light, and I know that if something manages to keep them there, it's hope - that our nation, the nation with the biggest and most loving heart, with a desire for life, a nation that will do everything to bring back its brothers and sisters here and now, how many As soon as possible, all of them. I know, because that hope held me in the most difficult moments there, in a place that seemed full of darkness trying to take over hope.
"Citizens of Israel, it is a great privilege to live in a country that sees human life as the highest value, and works with all its might to save its loved ones. The redemption of captives is not only a halachic commandment, but a supreme human value. An expression of mutual guarantee, human love, and compassion. This is who we have always been, That's how we will remain and we don't intend to give up."
Ben Ami turned to Netanyahu and said: "Mr. Prime Minister - do not change the face of Israeli society, the society that you have been a leader for years and know it from its roots, the Israeli society that you are part of shaping. The last stop of the bus of responsibility for the lives of the citizens of Israel is your desk. They are not Let them hold on there, no one can survive what they go through there. Believe me. An entire country is calling you to save us, to elect us, the citizens of the country you lead. Bring them home. The living and those who are not alive.
"Mr. Prime Minister, in the name of The abductees, in the name of the people of Israel, give the representatives in Qatar the order: 'We will not return without a deal.' Bring them home, all of them, because it's no longer possible, I'm on the vapors of optimism that are running out, and I believe that this is how all the families and the people, then all of them, here and now."
