Freed captive Doron Steinbrecher is among protesters in Israel calling for an end to the Gaza offensive and a deal to secure the release of the remaining captives, Al Jazeera reports, citing Times of Israel.
“Six months ago, I saw the sun for the first time after 471 days in the tunnels,” Steinbrecher, who was released from Hamas captivity as part of a truce deal in January, said at Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square, where thousands of people had gathered.
“Six months ago, I drew my first breath that wasn’t all fear. Now, after six months, I still can’t breathe … without fear,” she continued. “It’ll take time. And the first step is that everyone comes back.”
She then addressed US President Donald Trump in English.
“We have met and spoken; I know how personally important this is to you, how deeply you are involved, and I know what you are capable of. Make it happen,” she said. “Let everyone emerge through the gates of hell so that we may rise.”
