I explained to him that he would have siblings, that we were waiting for Daddy because I couldn’t make him a brother on my own, but it broke me. I realized the child was losing hope.“I prayed to God and said, ‘God, enough, mercy. The child wants a sibling. Bring me my husband already.’ That same night, President Trump announced the release of Elkana and all the other hostages.”Elkana: “For two years there, I ate my heart out, especially in the moments when I thought I wouldn’t come back, when I thought it was a shame Re’em didn’t have a brother or sister. And now, thank God.”Rebecca: “Two months before he was kidnapped, Elkana told me, ‘Let’s have another baby,’ and I stopped him. I only stopped nursing Re’em when he was 3, and I wanted a little time for myself before starting again with breastfeeding. When he was kidnapped, I regretted that we hadn’t done it.”How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?
