In the shadow of the release of footage showing hostage Rom Braslavski in Palestinian Islamic Jihad captivity, his mother Tammy said she "demands to speak with the prime minister, defense minister and IDF chief in a meeting - now. They don't even pick up the phone when I call."
According to her, "They broke my child, I want him home now. They shaved his beard, they took everything from him. Because we said he was strong, they're showing he's not strong. I know how many beatings he received. I know because Rom doesn't cry. If he's crying, it's because they abused him. Look at how he appears, thin as a stick."
