Hamas captivity survivor Yocheved Lifshitz responded to comments by Itzik Bontzel, a Likud party loyalist who wrote on Facebook that he wishes 'there was a way to return you to Hamas.' Lifshitz replied to Bontzel: 'Netanyahu sent his armored vehicle to incite against me, so they won't talk about the warnings that reached him and the alert calls he personally received that could have prevented the failure. Netanyahu's lies and slander won't help him, the people of Israel understand very well that he is responsible for the failure.' Yashar! Chairman Gadi Eisenkot also responded: 'The government of failure led by Netanyahu, which only knows how to lead into the abyss and flee from responsibility, presents another moral low. A party that lost its way long ago. Worthy leadership would bow its head. Anyone who armors a person who wishes for an Israeli citizen to end up in Hamas' hands is not worthy of leading this nation.'
