Murdered hostage's father: 'Soldiers should not die to retrieve my son's body from Gaza'

Yuval Or's son and daughter-in-law were murdered at Kibbutz Be'eri on October 7, and Hamas still holds his son's body. He suspects that the Iran war helps Netanyahu push the hostages off the public agenda: 'The idea of endless wars will ultimately kill us all'

Yuval Or had mixed feelings about Sunday's announcement on the IDF's recovery of the bodies of slain hostages Ofra Keidar, Yonatan Samerano and Shay Levinson. On October 7, 2023, Yuval lost both his son, Dror, who was murdered and whose body was taken by Hamas, and his daughter-in-law, Yonat, who was murdered at Kibbutz Be'eri.
