Anat Angrest, whose son is being held hostage in Gaza, has strongly criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling the ongoing hostage crisis a 'complete failure' for his leadership. Speaking at Hostage Square, Angrest drew a powerful parallel between her son's suffering and the Holocaust, stating that her family is experiencing a 'second Holocaust' due to the government's actions. She recounted a conversation with the government's hostage coordinator, Gal Hirsch, in which her concerns about her son's condition were dismissed as 'Hamas propaganda.' Hirsch later clarified that his remarks were misrepresented, emphasizing that videos of hostages are part of a campaign by terror groups to manipulate public perception.
