The first stage of the hostage deal is expected to begin this coming Sunday, and the family of the hostage Elkana Bohbot is deeply concerned. "Elkana is asthmatic, in the video of his abduction you can see that he was beaten in the face and that his nose is broken. And he's in a tunnel. This automatically turns him into a humanitarian medical condition," Elkana's brother Yaakov shouted Thursday morning in an interview on the Kan Reshet Bet program "This Morning."
The family of Elkana Bohbot, who has not made its voice heard in the media in the 15 months since the beginning of the war, is crying out this morning. "There are things that we don't all understand about this deal, such as how this list came to be, and how it could be that my brother is not there. He should be there rightfully and justifiably, and he deserves someone to speak on his behalf. We are repenting for the period when we did not speak."
"Elkana is the father of a child who didn't know how to say a word in Hebrew. He was kidnapped when the boy was 3 years old, and today he is 4 and a half years old and speaks Hebrew fluently. The rights of this child are protected, and they make Elkana's situation a clear humanitarian situation," Yaakov noted, and spoke about what keeps the family strong. "If we don't have trust, we'll fall completely apart. We have confidence and hope that the government understands the magnitude of the moment and the situation. I'm afraid of the moment they start returning kidnapped and we'll see their situation."
Elkana's family received several signs of life from him during his long stay in captivity. "We are 468 days without day and without night, a roller coaster of fear, worry. Certainly also concerns. We received life signals during this period, I don't know where they came from, but thank God we know that Elkana is alive and surviving."
