She claims the aim of the meeting is for “photography and public relations purposes.”
78-year old Margalit Moses writes in a public statement, “Thank you for the invitation, but I will not take part in the meeting for photography and public relations purposes while my friends are languishing in the Hamas tunnels in Gaza.”
According to timesofisrael.com:
She was released on November 24 as part of a temporary ceasefire deal brokered by Qatar and the US between Hamas and Israel.
Moses was kidnapped by Hamas from her home on Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7 along with her ex-husband and close neighbor Gadi Moshe Moses, 79.
Moshe Moses remains in captivity in Gaza.
The fighting between Israel and Hamas started after Hamas launched a surprise attack on the Southern region of Israel in the early hours of Saturday 7 October, 2023, killing thousands of Israel and taking many others hostage.
