About her son’s entry into Gaza, she said: “He is a soldier in training, he was not qualified. He himself was afraid to enter Gaza. Someone needs to explain to me why they let children with no experience in. They kept explaining to me that they are close to the fence and nothing will happen to them.”
She came out against the protests: “May the people of Israel wake up. Wake up already. Enough, enough with the wars between us. I kept saying that Hamas is the one who will unite us, and now everyone is coming to cry over my son’s grave. Why do we have these demonstrations? Why do we have this hatred? What is this? Promoting us? Only together will we win, they don’t understand that.”
