As the opposition bloc negotiates the shape of a new coalition, Einav Tsengauker, mother of Matan Tsengauker who was freed from Hamas captivity, sent a sharp message Monday morning to the leaders of the parties forming the alternative government.
"I am speaking now to all the heads of the change bloc: you are all talking about the promises you will have to break in order to form a government, but among all those promises there is only one promise you cannot break under any circumstances," Tsengauker wrote. "Those who had their hands on the wheel on October 7, they will not hold the wheel again. Every other promise pales next to this promise, which is the foundation for fixing the state."
Tsengauker stressed that for her, the public struggle did not end when her son came home: "I fought for my son's life for two years. Even after Matan came home, my struggle did not end. I am fighting to prevent the next failure, so that no mother will have to go through the hell I went through, so that no family will be abandoned again, and so that the word responsibility will not be empty of meaning."
She addressed the scenarios being discussed in the political system, including going to another election or forming a unity government under Benjamin Netanyahu, and warned the bloc's leaders against both.
