Yoni Asher, whose wife Doron and his two daughters Raz and Aviv were released last night in the hostage deal describes his great joy in the face of the healing they must undergo: "My family, Doron Raz and Aviv came home to me from captivity. I am determined to bring about the resurrection of my family from the trauma and the terrible bereavement we went through, for the future of childhood and Doron. Complex days are still ahead of me."
"It is permissible to be happy and it is permissible to shed a tear"
Asher thanks everyone who labored for the liberation "I owe thanks and respect to our sons who are sacrificing their lives, to the IDF, the Israeli government, and the war cabinet who are engaged in the work. Thank you to the wonderful people of Israel for the reinforcements. A big thank you to the families of the abductees who are working for the return of everyone. I am happy to have received my family back, It's allowed to be happy and it's allowed to shed a tear. It's a human thing."
"The families of the kidnapped are not posters"
He adds that he will continue to fight until everyone returns home, "but I am not celebrating, I will not celebrate until the last of the kidnapped returns. I want to emphasize that our children, our fathers, our mothers, and our sisters are at this time in captivity, there are people whose hearts are broken at this time and I want to make sure All of the captives until the last one will return home. The families of the abductees are not posters, they are not slogans, they are real people, and the families of the abductees are from today my new family, and I will make sure and do everything that the last of the captives returns home. Thank you to everyone."
