The released kidnapper: Bibi is talking about victory? 19 abductees are raped there/Wala system!
What do the kidnapped women in Hamas captivity go through? This chilling question is being dealt with this morning (Tuesday) in an emergency debate in the Knesset, convened by the head of the Committee for the Advancement of the Status of Women, MK Panina Tamno Sheta. The debate is attended by Mia Regev, who was released from Hamas captivity in the previous hostage deal, and confirmed the fear of many Israelis: ""All A girl there, as hard as it is to say, is being sexually harassed in one way or another."
At the beginning of the discussion Yamit, the sister of the abductee Doron Steinbracher, played her recording from October 7 in which she is heard saying "catch me". "The thought that these dirty hands are touching my sister penetrated me," she said, "These pictures accompany me in my dysfunction. With great courage the freed people tell about women who were with them, but this week my colleague Sosna was used here for the abductees who cannot speak. I want the guillotine of the Hotor to be allowed to be published, which foreshadows In the name of another abductee who was murdered in captivity, stop walking over my head."
Yesterday, the families sent a request to members of the Knesset to participate in the discussion. "Following the shocking testimony of Amit Sosna, additional testimonies of abductees who returned and the UN report regarding sexual abuse in the Hamas attack, an emergency hearing should be called for the girls and family members of the abductees in the Committee for the Advancement of the Status of Women," they wrote. "This is no longer speculation or hearsay - these Sharp and clear testimonies that every mother and father in Israel need to hear."
"The brave words of the abductees in their home should echo throughout the world, and be heard in the Israeli Knesset as well. I'm asking you - don't close your ears. Do not ignore them. I invite you to hear them clearly and clearly, and to do everything together so that our sisters and brothers get out of this hell and come home before it's too late," said Steinbracher at the hearing.
Shira, the mother of the abductee Liri Albag, said that "She is in hell. Do any of you even understand this? Our girls experience daily suffering and are hurt both physically and mentally. Liri was a slave in the homes of Gazans. She had to clean the house, cook for the family when she was not Eating the food, playing with the children of the house, cleaning the toilets. They humiliated her. They forced her to sing in a very unpleasant way, and then she stopped singing to herself, that was the only thing that kept her going. Every day you witness the rape that happens in the street, happens in Gaza, and keep going . This is how we, the families, feel. The girls go through daily rape there, and you ignore it. Every day I hear her calling me for help, 'Mother, save me'. Her soul is wounded, I'm not talking about the body anymore. And you go on vacation. For the glory of the State of Israel."
"It's terribly difficult for me to hear the families talk. I don't know how to express what I have to say because of all the anger, frustration, fear, and all the emotions that are happening there," said Mia Regev. "As far as I'm concerned, from the 7th, every discussion should be an emergency discussion. Because every day there is an emergency. To hear and see that they're going on recess - so what will people do there? Sit on a chair and wait for the Knesset and the government to return to their comfortable chairs and decide what to do? I couldn't believe I saw that." .
"Every girl there, no matter how hard it is to say, goes through sexual harassment in one way or another. I, as a citizen running in the fields, do not understand what is happening and why no one comes to save me, I was abandoned once. I sit there and wait and say another day they will come to save me . I never would have believed it would take so long. I deal with things, I don't want to describe what they go through there. If I could, I would go in and take them all back home. But that's your job. We were disappointed once, we shouldn't be disappointed again . I see things in the media and I'm torn from the inside, how does that make sense? I was lucky and I returned home. What about them? They sit there and wait. They trust the state. Every day the number of women you can bring home is decreasing," she added in tears.
Yordan Gonen, sister of Rumi Gonen, read testimonies about sexual crimes committed by Hamas. "What did she do wrong? Why do I have to beg?", she said, showing a picture of her sister and added: "Why does Amit Sosna have to tear her body apart so that someone will listen and do something? Does anyone think it makes sense that she should go and tell the whole world about it? "
Ayelet Levy Shahar - the mother of Naama Levy, who was filmed being dragged into the terrorists' car with her pants stained with blood - expressed a similar distress. "I feel that I have run out of words. I go back to November, as a mother I had no choice, I had to deal with Naama's video and what could be interpreted from it. As much as I tried not to think in terms of sexual abuse, there was no choice. Already at the beginning of December I brought the things to my attention UN representative. We didn't need her report, the New York Times investigation, the testimonies of the women who returned from captivity, to know and understand the panic. The decision makers talk to us about military achievements they have achieved and cannot be given up. These achievements are too important to give up in order to return the kidnapped now."

"These are very difficult days," added Orli, Daniela Gilboa's mother, "I knew the testimonies would be read. I said: If it's hard for me to hear, then how does my daughter feel? We hope that now everyone involved in the negotiations will understand that there is no time. We know there is a possibility for a deal. You have to do everything to make it happen. I have no doubt that if this was your daughter, you would have already brought her."
Sharon Aloni-Kunio, who was released from captivity, also spoke at the committee. "As someone who returned from captivity, the discussion is extremely important," she said. "The fear is endless, indescribable in words. To be a woman in captivity is to be in constant fear that you may be harmed, that you are at the mercy of Hamas. Helplessness. Every minute is an eternity, every movement of the terrorists causes a contraction in the stomach. Will he hurt me? Will they take one of my girls again? I am not allowed to say a word, to oppose the teaching, my opinion is not considered and the wishes are not relevant. Only he decides if I live or die, if Emma or Yuli is allowed to hug me. When I was there, the biggest fear was that they would forget us, that they wouldn't fight for us."
"It's been four months since we returned. But we didn't really go back. Fear returned with us to Israel. Paralysis and helplessness are an integral part of my everyday life. Our heart, my husband David, father of Emma and Yuli, is still there. They don't stop saying every day, father is in Gaza with the bad guys, why don't they let him come back. My biggest fear is that they will ask if the bad guys killed dad. Every phone call makes me jump, lest they tell me the bad news. Will his memory be blessed soon? Don't forget the men either. They have no protection, they are broken and scared. Men are also subjected to terrible abuse in captivity."
"David is my strength. No one can be left there. You must reach a deal that includes everyone. After 179 days, my David is already a humanitarian case. You abandoned us once, you have no right to abandon us again. You owe us this. Just before When he was separated from me, David took me aside and he had one request: you asked about him," she said tearfully.
