Zehava Shaul, the mother of deceased soldier Oron Shaul, commented: "I thought the end of Guardian of the Walls would mean that Oron would be returned to me. This did not happen, and I am very disappointed."
"Instead of promoting some kind of prisoner exchange, they are dealing with trifles. It is time now, after 7 years and a successful campaign that has clearly led to some kind of negotiations with Hamas, to push for a prisoner exchange."
"If Prime Minister Netanyahu were to decide that he wants Oron back, it would happen in two days," she says. "I don't know what prevents him from doing so, and perhaps if I did I would approve. I don't though, and it hurts even more for that; every time I went to him he promised and promised - he knows to promise but he does not always know how to deliver on his promises."
