Yonatan Zeigen pushing for an end to the conflict as he fears for his mother’s life
The son of a Canadian woman believed to be among those held hostage by Hamas in Gaza wants the world to push for an end to the fighting and says he fears Israel’s escalating offensive could end all chance of bringing his mother safely home.
Since then, Israel has drastically limited electricity and food in the territory, and this weekend has ramped up air and land assaults ahead of an expected full-scale invasion of the densely populated territory. “I don’t know how much power Canada has, but it seems like they’re very much invested in doing everything they can,” Zeigen told reporters on a Zoom call Sunday organized by the Jerusalem Press Club.
“The attack on Oct. 7, it was vicious really brutal. But it happened in a certain context of this region of years and years of dehumanizing people from both sides,” Zeigen said.
