Avi Ohana, the father of Yosef Haim, who has been kidnapped in Gaza for 536 days, today (Tuesday) referred to the 'sign of life' he received yesterday from his son. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ohana, 24, from Kiryat Malachi, was kidnapped from the Nuwa party. He was listed as missing for two weeks until his family was informed that he had been kidnapped to Gaza. According to testimonies from the party, Yosef helped the wounded at the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an interview with Kalman Libeskind and Assaf Lieberman on Channel 2, the father said: "We are going through a great upheaval. On the one hand, I am glad that we saw him after 535 days, he looks fine, a little thin. I am glad that he is lucid and spoke fine, but with all this - you see the distress and difficulty.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My father explained that they are a religious family. "The only thing that keeps me going is faith. I pray and I see the beautiful people of Israel, who all surround us with love, wherever I go.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The father spoke about the need for a deal and the uncertainty. "I have a lot of hope that this won't last much longer and that a deal will come that will get these young people out too. We understood that women were needed first, the elderly first, the sick first, but we didn't understand that the young people would be delayed for a year and a half and we don't know where it's going.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said of his son's heroism: "He was traveling with friends and they told me that he really helped a lot of people. He told them: 'I don't leave wounded people in the field. They shot at him and by the time they caught him, he had helped a lot of people. He was bandaged up because he learned first aid, and when the ambulances arrived, he helped evacuate them. There is a video of him standing on the main road and telling drivers to drive in the opposite direction because that's where all the terrorists came from.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My father also wondered in which direction the country was going and cried out that the families were living in uncertainty. "War or not? We don't know more than anyone else, you live in the air, in prayer. I am ashamed that we, as families of kidnapped people, have to trust Trump. Go to representatives of the United States and ask for help because we are desperate for the government here. Should we ask for help from the Gentiles? We are the people of Israel, these are our children, we need all the discourse in the media to put everything aside, first of all the kidnapped, feel our pain, we have no day and we have no night.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added: "We are on October 7th, it's not for nothing, we are not here, it's 24 hours that you are simply at war over your child. I don't know what is happening around me at all. And we should ask Trump for help? Because they are not helping us here? Isn't it enough that they abandoned them on October 7th? There is no justification for them not being released by now. There is no such thing. They won't sell us any stories. We never thought it would reach a year and a half that they would be in captivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""It's very painful, very painful what's happening in the country, all the discourse, legal counsel, Shin Bet, it's not interesting. If they were talking and were united on television, then it would also give us strength. You open the media and you see all the disputes and where are our children in the picture? It adds suffering to our suffering. If I weren't a man of faith, I'd be on pills in a hospital, but faith holds me. We still have terrible anger about what's happening here. I'm not one to go to demonstrations, I'm not in the headquarters, I'm not judging them either, everyone should do what's best for them, that their son is there, but really, the government here, I have no more words because of the pain.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hamas released a video yesterday showing the hostages Elkana Buhbut and Yosef Haim Ohana. This is the first time the two have appeared in videos released by the terrorist organization, but signs of life were received from both of them during phase one of the latest deal to release the hostages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
