Leah Goldin, the mother of Hadar Goldin, whose body has been held by the Hamas terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip for the last three years, revealed during an interview with Dror Globerman that the entire program will be broadcast on Sunday evening in the program Anashim (people), because the Prime Minister has been assured by her that there will be a number of meetings during regional negotiations and agreements in which he will demand the return of the soldiers' bodies as a prerequisite to the agreements..
"It's his words, and then suddenly he flipped-flopped. Apparently there are other interests, and he says to me, 'Do you want to take responsibility for missiles on Gaza?' Do you want to take on your responsibility for epidemics in Gaza?"
"The meetings we had were very serious meetings. He said it explicitly. There the unfortunate meeting with the family [of Oron] Shaul, where the prime minister erupted in extreme anger and accused Simha of acting like Noam Shalit, and then Shaul was really broken. "We realized then that this is a real crisis."
"We told him, 'but you promised us separately,' and he told us, 'Yes, but I did not mean the Turkish agreement.'" So Simcha (Goldin) said to him, 'So what did you mean?' It's not only disappointing, it's killing us again. It's killing Hadar, it's sticking in the knife again, every day to kill us anew," she added.
The Prime Minister's Office said in response: "Prime Minister Netanyahu did not promise to link the soldiers to the agreement with Turkey, and Prime Minister Netanyahu meets with the families on an ongoing basis."
Within this framework, the Prime Minister held regular meetings with members of the Goldin family, in which updates were given regarding the activity being carried out to bring his body home, and courses of action and proposals for action were discussed, including those raised by the family.
The discourse is always open and out of respect for this we will not publicly address details from these meetings.
Israel attaches importance to turning the world's attention to the fact that Hamas holds the bodies of soldiers killed during cease-fires, as well as Israeli civilians, and acts in the international arena to bring this to the world's attention. As part of this activity, the families travel abroad, meet with decision makers and heads of organizations and countries, and speak at events to raise the issue of the abduction of their sons.
