Hostage's Mother Slams Netanyahu, Calls for Political Change
Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Einav Tsengauker, mother of hostage Matan Tsengauker who was returned alive a year ago, published a scathing post criticizing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following a recent interview.

Tsengauker expressed that the nation would not forget the 46 hostages who were abducted alive and could have been saved. She accused Netanyahu of avoiding investigation for three years and then appearing on a "propaganda studio" to spread conspiracy theories against the IDF and its soldiers. She described the interview as "knives in the heart" of bereaved families and victims of the "failure," adding that the deaths of nearly 2,000 Israelis had become a cynical campaign event managed by "Qatari advisors" aiming to turn citizens against the army, calling Netanyahu's actions worse than Al Jazeera's broadcasts.

Tsengauker also recanted a previous statement where she called Netanyahu her "private angel of death," admitting she was wrong and now considers him the "angel of death of an entire nation" due to his "moral abyss." She urged the public to vote for change in the upcoming elections, stating that the nation deserves truth and repair, and that another failure is imminent if the current government is re-elected. She warned that a vote for Likud is a vote for another failure and encouraged citizens not to fear change.
