monitors of tunnels come off as bills now they'd be lots of effort putting to coordinating identifying lead casey, where the hostages all being tapped as much as possible. and of course, in the background, this talk of potentially hostage rescue attempts. but these are very, very dangerous options. with no way to guarantee chances of success. what, how much recognizes scott walker says, is that is real, has consistently prioritize the safe return of their citizens. so again, i have the vin number case in point, the 19 year old is rarely soldier held by him. us for 5 years is we'll got him back by giving up more than a 1000 palestinian prisoners to whom us they always want to take captives. they know what captain's can do. one is riley soldier, people actually and that's the price of israel is willing to pay. the families of those hostages are shaken and afraid desperate for any word and hopeful that the

images of their sisters, brothers, parents, grandparents remain in the forefront of israel's moves against him. us now joined by 2 relatives of 4 of the german hostages taken by him mazda as coney rowman, whose sister was kidnapped. and adi is a lazy whose aunt and uncle have been taken. thank you so much for joining us on the w today. a start review of when you, when did you last hear from your sister and her sister in law who has also been taken by home us? where were they? actually, i was in south africa with my father. and when we saw the last message from my sister that says that they are all right with the picture of her and her 3 or 3 years old kid guessin. and that's fine. actually, it's kind of weird to say it. but with that it's, it's a years old they, they have

a routine of alarms getting into the shelter. so we wasn't very afraid. but as a time pass on, we realize that this is very different situation. and this is unusual, extremely unusual. and since 10 am and saturday morning, we haven't heard from her. what about you audio? what? what was the last you knew of your uncle and your aunt says so like when i said on saturday morning we woke up a phone line beside alarms. and again, not something to unusual a, but then i heard on the tv and the terrorist of a broken into his room and the mexican mother being a member so fed nikki, was even in the gaza strip. and then i hear that to my cousin is crying on the tv

saying that their dad eh, was pictures in gaza. and that's how i found out you found out on tv. yes. and, and they were in basically keyboards. one of the sites of worship was busy and took a hard hit in this terror attack, 140 ne. and this for now, and that's and then we'll just keeps rising. and then lots of hostages also from the keyboards. and it's, it's very concerning. and my mom is from the q, what's the issue up there? it's such a nice place to go there all the time. and just seeing those pictures from the keyboards, he just feels like a nicer is like a whole movie. and you, unfortunately share this faith with, with many other families and as well right now, does it give you any sort of solace that you can share this argument that you're in

this together? well that i would say that there is a lot of sort of, there was a right now and between the people are, these are a lot of people are volunteering to help and people will collapse to the army and the one before the and the serve on of the we were divided the 0 a full politic issue is busted right now. i say it's safe to say this, well, all the in this together. and it doesn't matter right now about politics. we just want to, to get this over with being ahold of this hostage back home and truly faithfully. and this is the top priority of the government to bring the hostages home. have they've been in touch with you and your families? are they keeping you in the loop or they keeping you informed to they know anything

about where your family members are? and i think that our government has the everyone. what was really in shocked. nobody expect this attack, so it took some time for the government to understand. and i think that even right now they don't really understand. we don't know this the find those numbers of the people who the murder of the people who gets kidnapped. so until now there is a lot of knowing that the government is trying to reach us and keep us updated, but they don't know. my sister is still in the status of missing, although i'm sure that she's given us. i know it, we were at the point that she was last seen and my brother for 5 days was in the war field and looking for her. no signs of fly them,

no signs of a fight. so for sure, they just reducing up her, asked her for a runaway and square are waiting for information and we're waiting for a sign of life. and that this is also, there isn't that we are here in germany because we really do need every help to, to, to know what is their condition. yeah. your sister is a german citizen. yeah. and your uncle as a german awesome your sister onto the german citizens. what kind of support have you been receiving from the german government since you arrived here? and we arrived here after almost 2 weeks that we were in the same thing. as you said, movie in israel, and we just decided that we need germany by our side and actually not by our side

with our side because we are as a german citizens. and germany shouldn't be a real axis here. and a real actor, not only a 3rd party, this is a matter also of germany. so we came here and i have to say really, we already met the chancellor and mr. bad book and a lot of people in the parliament and we really feel a lot of support and commitment to us to, to help our loved ones. and i really do hope that they will do more than everything, but they can 1st of all to bring us a sign of life and then right after then get them released. you know, there is talk about an imminent ground offensive, of course, also with the aim of a freeing the hostages. it how do you feel about that? because it comes with a lot of danger, of course,

and as well. i don't know what to say, like, because i'm, i'm not familiar with what the actions to be. all i know is i want israel and germany as well. do anything they can to bring on their hostages. eh, we don't, we don't know what it dates, but a, i'm sure, eh, that you will do anything it takes to feel hurt at this point. and well, in germany i've been here for 2 days and or we've received with this love and support and all the and the politicians. we may as it also the public, a lovely to saving it. it really is comforting a to be here, although the stiller it onto some of the k actions here in berlin. but there that's, that's everyone to was, i know because with, with wellness,

safe everywhere and nothing is well and that's outside of his room. that is very unfortunate reality. so if you had a message for your sister right now, when would it be? the only thing that um i think that's the only thought that my sister has in her mind right now that she doesn't know that guessing he is alive. her daughter, her daughter. yeah. she doesn't know that she with her father succeed to hide and get back to the army for. so this is the only thing that i would tell her because i know that you know that i love her. i know that you know that every one of us or her family is doing everything that we can to get her back. so i don't need to tell that. oh, what about you? this? is it just so they're both safe. i hope there's together. and i'm really concerned about as mount as well because of ice has

a or them even disease. and she takes off fierce medic, a medically, a lot of fears every day. and then it's been 2 weeks now that she hasn't received the name of that goes tension. i assume we don't know, and that's why we need a, the help of the monetary age for the hostages as soon as possible, because we don't know how much time she has left without those a we know those medical, their time is running out. this is not the events that happened in the 7th of october. this is still, we're still under attack. my sister rose also and at least $200.00 more adapt a take, not people there are still under attacked. and i also would like to say that this is not an issue about israel and palestine. really, it's not,

this is about terror and the liberal world they were and i started a war against our army because of a matter of ideology, ideal logics issues. this is innocent people, woman, children, or people ill, people that are now in a war zone. does they need help and they haven't done anything bad. and their time is running out 20 d. thank you so much for sharing your story, all the best to you and your families. thank you. thank you. the
