Daughter of Israeli hostage speaks out

Israeli, US and Qatari intelligence chiefs met in Doha today for hostage negotiations. Over 200 hostages were taken by Hamas and other groups are still not freed. Some of what we do know about their conditions comes mostly from one woman: Yocheved Lifschitz. At 85, on October 7, she was grabbed in her nightgown and taken by Hamas into Gaza. She is one of only four people to be released so far. Her daughter Sharone was by her side at a Tel Aviv Hospital, as Yocheved explained the spiders web of tunnels she was held in. But the family nightmare continues, with Sharone’s elderly father Oded is still being held. Sharone joins Christiane to mark one month since the Hamas atrocities and call on her government to put the fate of hostages first.  Also on today's show: Israeli peace activist Robi Damelin & Bassam Aramin, The Parents Circle Families Forum; Giva Haveeva Education Center Director of Strategy Mohammad Darawshe  Learn more about your ad choices.
