Hostage Survivor's Son Responds to Outcry Over Her Remarks
Omri, the son of Yocheved Lifshitz, a former hostage released by Hamas, addressed the recent controversy surrounding his mother's statements. The dispute arose after Itzik Bonzel, a bereaved father who lost his son in the war, made a harsh remark against Lifshitz. Omri stated on Tuesday that Bonzel had not apologized to his mother and that "this is not the first time such things have been said about her." Bonzel had previously expressed regret over Lifshitz's words, which he felt disrespected Israeli soldiers, and stated, "I wish there was a way to turn back time and return you to Hamas's hands." He later issued a clarification, attributing his initial outburst to the intense grief of losing his son in the conflict. Bonzel explained that his comment about Lifshitz and Hamas was made in the heat of emotion and that he did not intend it as stated, offering an apology for that specific remark.
