Members of the Assemblée Nationale in France stood today (Tuesday) during the parliament session and clapped for Alon Adar, whose grandmother Yaffa and cousin Tamir were kidnapped by Hamas to Gaza.
After standing up, members of the Assemblée Nationale clapped in honor of the hostages.
The footage of Adar's kidnapping became famous, as she was seen being taken from her home in Kibbutz Nir Oz on a scooter in videos disseminated on social media.
About two weeks ago, Adar's granddaughter was interviewed by Radio 103FM and said, "The information we know is the information you know, the information that all the people of Israel know, because most people in Israel saw the video of my grandmother before we saw it. We are shouting out my grandmother's cry because my grandmother has no time. She has no time for wars, for humanitarian aid, she has no time. If she is still alive, and I don't know if she is alive, then she is probably dying now. She is probably suffering, and I do not wish the people I hate to end their lives in Hamas captivity."
"She is amazing. She loved the country, she loved her family very much. Her grandchildren were her whole world, her great-grandchildren, my children. She loved to read, she loved Maccabi Tel Aviv in basketball, that's something we all have in our genes. She loved life. She was completely with it, sharp, brilliant, until the day they took her, and at the same time, like any 85-year-old woman, her body was no longer working the same. She had heart problems, kidney problems, very high blood pressure, that even on normal days it was difficult to balance with pills. She has herniated discs, and she walked with a walker."
"If my grandmother is still alive, she is dying, and that is why it is so difficult for us with the humanitarian aid. I don't think there is anything less humanitarian than keeping an 85-year-old woman without her pills, without her medicines, pain relievers, lonely, alone, in captivity in Gaza. I don't think There is someone who would wish his relatives to end their life like this. It can't be that the Red Cross, the organization designed for this, is failing to reach them, failing to give my grandmother the medicines she needs, but we do let them transfer humanitarian aid."
"How can it be that the word 'humanitarian' continues to exist when there are people who are currently living in this captivity?" she cried, "When there are children there, young children, without their parents, with no one to take care of them, with no one to worry about them. Is this how they should grow up? Are there people who will die there? We have people there who we know are alive, and if we don't reach them and do everything we can to free them now, we will find more bodies there. We have enough bodies and funerals here in this country. We can't be giving humanitarian aid, while at this moment more of our people are being killed there slowly and brutally, and we have seen what cruelty Hamas can do."
