Lishi Miran Lavi, whose husband Omri is held hostage in Gaza, addressed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a rally in Sha'ar HaNegev, saying: "I would appreciate if you would sit with me so I can explain that victory over our enemies means returning the hostages. As long as our enemies hold hostages, they defeat us every single day." She further told the PM: "Know that there is no security, no recovery, no rehabilitation, no victory and no independence as long as they are there. The war is the means, not the goal."
