Margalit Moses, who was kidnapped to the Gaza Strip on October 7 and released as part of the hostage release deal, sent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a letter in which she informed him that she would not attend a meeting with him. The letter comes ahead of Netanyahu's meeting on Friday with hostages who have returned and whose loved ones are still in captivity: Aviva Siegel, Ilana Gritzewsky, Lena Trupanov, Yocheved Lifshitz, Raz Ben Ami and Adi Shoham. "Thank you for the invitation, but I will not take part in a meeting for photo opportunity and public relations purposes while my friends are dying in the Hamas tunnels in Gaza," wrote Moses, whose ex-husband Gadi is still being held captive. "I saw them alive in captivity with my own eyes, and now - due to the second abandonment since October 7 - we are getting them back in coffins."

"I would be happy to meet with you at the event welcoming the 109 hostages upon their return to their families," concluded Moses.
