Ilana Gritzewsky, survivor of Hamas captivity and partner of hostage Matan Zangauker, delivered an emotional testimony before the United Nations Security Council, recounting the horrors of her abduction and calling for urgent action to secure the release of all remaining hostages.
She described how “within minutes, our home in Nir Oz turned into hell. They dragged me, beat me, and humiliated me. On the streets of Gaza, I was forced to walk hand in hand with a terrorist as if I were his wife, so that they would not notice that I was kidnapped.”
Gritzewsky recalled the violence she endured: “They grabbed me by the hair, hit me in the stomach, causing me to lose my breath. They dragged me across the floor, lifted me, and threw me against the wall. They pointed guns at me, hit me, tried to film me with my phone. I raised my hands, told them I was Mexican, begged them not to hurt me, not to rape me, not to shoot me, just to let me go. The only thing I could think of was having my family see me end my life like this. The terrorists beat me, humiliated me, touched me all over, threw me on a motorcycle, and took me into Gaza.”
“On the way to Gaza, when they started to touch me and sexually abuse me, I passed out physically and mentally. I couldn't handle it anymore. I guess my body preferred to shut down. They kept beating me because, for them, I was a prize. I woke up in some ruined house, lying half-naked on rocks, surrounded by Hamas terrorists. I had to beg not to be raped, telling them I was on my period. At first, they didn’t understand if I was on my period or pregnant, but nevertheless, that made them leave me alone. They threw a hijab and a dress at me and ordered me to get dressed. I didn’t know exactly what had been done to my body in those lost minutes when I wasn’t conscious. But my soul already knew: nothing would ever be the same. I was suffering from a fractured jaw, a broken pelvis, ear damage from the explosions, and a burned leg.”
For 55 days, she lived in captivity. “I slept on the floor, hungry, sick, and without medicine. I lost 12 kilos. The terrorists ate meat, rice, and vegetables, and we received ten grains of hummus or a piece of dry pita. While the world talks about hunger in Gaza, we, the kidnapped, are the ones who were starved and are still starving on purpose.” She explained further: “They did not give me any medicine, no doctor came to see me, even though I told them I was suffering from colitis and anemia. The terrorists dictated everything: when we could talk, when we could go to the bathroom, when we could get up. They woke us up in the middle of the night for cruel interrogations. From the moment I was captured, the guards were with me all the time. They did not wear Hamas uniforms. They dressed like civilians. They told me that one of them is a math teacher and the other one is a lawyer. For 50 days, they made sure I could not escape. They told us all the time that we would be hostages for five, or even ten years.”
“When it was time to eat, they took a lot of food to their room. They had meat, rice, vegetables. At the same time, they left us with our meal, which contained sometimes as little as 10 chick peas or a piece of dry flat bread, which wasn’t always well-cooked.”
She recalled being taken to Nasser Hospital through a back entrance. “They transferred us to a hospital, now I know it was the Nasser hospital. They took us through the back entrance and walked us past all the civilians. In the hospital, there was an area that was closed off and used only by Hamas, with an armed guard. They locked us in a room, where we met a third hostage.”
Speaking of her partner Matan, she said: “In the tunnel, I discovered that Matan was a short distance from me the whole time but they didn't let me see him. I refused to be released because I wanted to stay by his side. I left Gaza with a hole in my heart and a promise: to do everything to bring him and the other hostages home.”
“So, I left with a hole in my heart. I promised my friends I would do everything in my power to bring them home. And now, I am keeping that promise. People see my face and think I'm ‘free’. But freedom is not a switch you can turn on and off. Trauma doesn't vanish once you're released. Now, with every siren, every rocket from Iran, Yemen or Gaza, I'm thrown back into that hell. The difference is: I have a safe room. Matan doesn't. He's still in Gaza.”
“I’m here not just for myself, but for every woman and man who didn’t make it home. For every voice that was ignored. For the 50 hostages still in Gaza. For their families. I’m calling on human rights groups, and everyone who claims to care: Stand with us. Speak up. Demand the truth. Because silence is betrayal.”
She urged the Council: “Do not turn away. Do not look for excuses. Do not allow political divisions to silence the voices of victims. Use your influence, your power, your responsibility, to demand the unconditional release of every hostage. Not tomorrow. Not in some distant future. But now. We need to make a deal. Israeli citizens want this war to end. Bring them home. Bring Matan home. Bring all of them home. Only then I will be able to begin to heal. Only then can the hostages’ families begin to heal. Only then we will begin to believe again in the values that this Council was created to uphold.”
Following her testimony, Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, said: “Ilana’s testimony is chilling and presents a clear picture to the Security Council: Hamas is abusing the hostages, starving them, and using international aid to feed the terrorists. The international community can no longer look away. Hamas must be defeated and the hostages must be released.”
Change your avatar. Take off that hideous Terrorist IsraHelli flag and do not place it next to the Pakistani flag.

Egypt knows Israel wants to Ethnically cleanse the Palestinians out of Gaza and out of Palestine
We all blame the Arabs and rightly so, they deserve the humiliation thrown on them
But I want to be clear the GCC and Arabs are playing a game that in their heads is strategic and long term and aimed at victory
In their heads it took 100 years to defeat the crusaders and it took time and planning and cunning and that's what they think they are doing
And they are angry hamas and Iran got in the way and is making them look like cowards
Ultimately the Arabs know the biggest weakness Israel has is the Palestinians/Arab population that will grow far far faster then the Jewish population
The Arab world, understood Israel was protected by the U.S/West
So even if they threw everything in and hurt Israel badly to the point of defeat the U.S and West would just step in and the Arab world and economies would face damage with Arabs dying
So their idea was to disarm Israel and the west through trade
Take advantage of Jew Influence in the west and to make investments and deals in the west to start exerting control
Agreements with Egypt, Jordan and GCC would make it difficult for Israel to harm Palestinians at the rate they wanted and the Arab population would just keep increasing and surpass the Jews population
I could go on, in essence the plan will still.workk
Similar to the crusader state the new state will not survive in a Muslim middle east where the Arab-muslim Pop is increasing in Israel and Palestine
But the Arabs are angry that hamas and to them Iran has put them in this situation
For all the destruction Israel has condemned itself and won't survive this
Egypt and the Arabs know that Israel wants to remove the Palestinian population and they absolutely won't allow that
Trump with his 'plan' even alluded to this
So the Egyptian military is there to ensure, the Palestinians remain in place

Israel is bombing everybody. Syria, Gaza , Lebanon, Yemen.
Snapback sanctions now back on Iran.
Middle Easterners need to do ground invasion into Israel to reverse this situation. Iran can't do economic war with EU and US. The only leverage Middle Easterners have is reducing Israel's territory.
That is what will make Western elites panic. You don't need to purify and develop each and every nation. You need to develop but that will not change status quo.
Changing status quo involves reducing Israeli territory which will put more pressure on Western elites than anything else. The Jewish-American community would also quickly backtrack many of their ME foreign policy.

Watch: IDF blows up Hamas tunnel from which terrorists stormed a military post in Gaza
The IDF’s 7th Armored Brigade uncovered and destroyed a kilometer-long tunnel in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood after Hamas terrorists tried to attack a military position; troops vow all terror infrastructures in the area will be destroyed
Yoav Zitun|12:32
The IDF said Thursday that it thwarted a Hamas attack launched from a large tunnel in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood, as the 7th Armored Brigade pushes into its second month of operations in the area ahead of a wider offensive planned for this fall.
According to the IDF, at least four Hamas terrorists emerged several days ago from the shaft of an 800-meter tunnel and charged a fortified position held by the brigade. The attackers were met by two alert reservists standing guard, who opened fire and repelled the assault. Other troops killed at least two terrorists before the remainder of the squad fled back underground.

The tunnel was later found to be in active use and equipped for long-term operations. Troops from the 99th Division, working with Yahalom combat engineers, uncovered rooms, supplies, and even a rocket-propelled grenade left on a mattress. The military released footage showing the discovery and subsequent destruction of the tunnel, which it said stretched nearly one kilometer.

“Brigade engineering forces, in cooperation with Yahalom, located a tunnel containing living quarters and weapons used by Hamas terrorists for military purposes,” the IDF said. “In other actions, the brigade, with air force support, destroyed additional terror infrastructure, seized weapons, and killed terrorists posing a threat to our forces.”

The army says the goal of the current operation is to dismantle the remaining capabilities of Hamas’ Zeitoun battalion, most of whose terrorists—estimated at about 400—have already fled deeper into Gaza City along with evacuated civilians. Those who remain are operating in small guerrilla squads of three to 15 men, striking from ruins and booby-trapped positions.

In the past three weeks, the brigade says its forces have killed about 60 identified terrorists. One officer was lightly to moderately wounded by gunfire from an ambush hidden in a destroyed building. Soldiers also uncovered seven powerful roadside bombs planted under a main route between abandoned neighborhoods, any of which, the IDF said, could have destroyed a Merkava tank.

Brigade commanders said the campaign differs from six previous incursions into Zeitoun because this time the focus is on systematically demolishing structures and destroying tunnels beneath them. “This time we will eliminate the infrastructure of Hamas’ Zeitoun battalion, denying them places of refuge and survival,” the army said.

The IDF expects operations in Zeitoun to continue for another two weeks before the brigade rejoins its parent division, the 36th, for the next stage of the Gaza City offensive.

No, Zionism supports the illegitimate right to steal Palestinian land by all evil means in a treacherous act of ungratefulness to the help the Palestinians gave to desperate Jews who fled Nazi Germany.

I complained to MODs about that long time ago but they took no action. I said I didn't want the dirty flag of murderers next to Pakistan's flag. But MODs took no action.
