Knesset member Merav Ben Ari (Yesh Atid) responded to remarks by Likud representative Talik Goeli, who said that "if the other camp wins, the memory of the heroes will disappear," writing on X that "'The other camp' was with your family every step of the way, embraced you with love, took to the streets, demonstrated for their release, and only thanks to these people did the hostages return. If it were up to the massacre government, they would have stayed there for years. You don't need to thank us, you just need to stop inciting against your own people."
