Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his wife Sarah met with bereaved siblings through a ZOOM video conference yesterday ahead of Israel’s Memorial Day.
The conversation was attended by Elisaf Peretz, who lost his two brothers Uriel Peretz and Eliraz Peretz, Ayelet Gomez who lost her brother Daniel Gomez, and Neta Balua who lost her brother Nadav Balua.
The prime minister told the bereaved families of how he deals with the loss of his brother Yoni Netanyahu, who was killed while leading a hostage rescue operation in Entebbe in 1976: “I will let you in on a secret. I devote time to this every day and there is no day when this does not happen and that I do not think about my brother Yoni. I remember him. I think about what he would say or do.
“Everyone who is in this circle, we are in the exact same circle and we must draw strength from it, not despair but strength. This is not easy because at the beginning there is only despair and gradually it can turn into strength and much hope.”
