Captivity survivor Arbel Yahud told a Knesset committee, 'I am a proud Jewish woman who survived alone the terrible captivity by terrorist organizations until I returned to my family and came to cry out for the other hostages. Does it seem logical that I have to fight here for the release of my beloved Ariel? The government continues to choose the military path that endangers the hostages' lives. I experienced the thunder of bombardments myself, I chose to say goodbye to my family because I thought it was my last day. I was beaten, lived in Holocaust-like conditions. This is how our loved ones who are still there spend their days and nights. Members of Knesset, look at me and see whom you have abandoned. Your hands will be stained with blood if you don't stop the war.'
