Netanyahu in press statement on tomorrows hostage release "My heart is torn"

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed deep sorrow and unity as Israel prepares to bring home four fallen captives. "Tomorrow will be a very difficult day for the State of Israel. A tumultuous day, a day of mourning. We are bringing home four of our beloved captives, fallen. We embrace the families, and the heart of an entire nation is torn. My heart is torn. Yours too. And the heart of the whole world must be torn, because here we see who we are dealing with, what we are dealing with, what monsters we are dealing with. We are grieving, we are pained, but we are also determined to ensure that such a thing does not happen again."

As Israel prepared for tomorrow it is important to remember we are entering a sad, unbearable day. The fallen who will return home tomorrow will break all our hearts. So let's be together tomorrow. For a moment, we can forget right and left, for and against, the voices of strife and discord among us. Let's be only for tomorrow. For the kidnapped, for their families, for our fallen who return home tomorrow to receive their right to eternal rest, for the fighters, for the wounded in body and soul, for our dearest who we lost in this war, for the State of Israel. Do not broadcast the horrific images tomorrow, do not spread anything on social media. Only the flag of Israel. Everywhere. Let's show them, the human scum who trade in the lives of our dearest, that we are invincible. When we are together, we defeat even the purest evil, all those who rose up to annihilate us. And we are here, we will always be here, and we will always win. We are a free people in our land, and our hope will never be lost. Wave the flag of Israel tomorrow, everywhere. Our brothers are coming home.
