udi, his cousin remains missing after an attack on his family's kibbutz near the gaza strip. udi, his wife, and young daughter were able to escape israel on sunday and are now in cyprus. i am so sorry to talk to you under these circumstances. are you hearing anything at all about what happened to your cousin? >> no, so far we haven't heard anything. >> and are you feel -- i mean, when you had the reservists mobilizing, they are likely mobilizing for an incursion, what could be happening in gaza could be imminent. without hearing any information about tal or any of the others, are you worried about what this means for your cousin's safety? >> of course, i am. i am not worried. i'm terrified, because, for example, tal, the last time his phone was located was in southern gaza, so maybe he was moved to the north then they'll find him. maybe he will be the first guy to found in the first house they go to but maybe as is captives see the armies coming they're going to execute him and run away. that's also very plausible. >> this must be just the thought of that and having to think

. -- i am joined by udi goren, whose cousin -- at his coutts kibbutz -- , thank you udi -- have you heard since your -- >> thank, you alicia, for having me on and being able to tell my cousins story. in the past few days. and actually, we don't really know what was happened since he was part of the emergencies what of his kibbutz he was one of the first people to tackle the terrorists and, did he work in pairs, so him and his brother-in-law were pair that went to confront the terrorists and at some point connection was lost and ever since then we, nor the other people, have been emergency squad know what had happened. our hopes are that, since his mobile phone was traced to gaza, that he is alive and -- captured. so, right now, we are at the point where, the best-case scenario is that he is alive and being held hostage. >> your mother's family were living on that kibbutz. you texted with him during the hamas's attack. just talk us through what that was like. >> it was gut-wrenching for us. because we were texting with them as they were in the bomb shelters, as they were -- two of my uncle

the udi, thank you for coming on.idnapped during that terrible day of the attack by hamas. what is the latest you have about his whereabouts? >> first of all, reverend sharpton, thank you for giving me a stage to speak on this and thank you for keeping this topic alive because we all think this should be the top priority for israel, and for its allies to consider. sadly, i really have nothing new to tell you that has changed in the past three weeks. there hasn't been a visit of the red cross, we don't know where he is, we don't know how he is, we don't know his condition. we really know nothing new about him. >>, i was moved by talking last week with some of the relatives of one of the hostages. and said that their relative was not political, they were in none of the sides. i was outraged at what happened in israel, i'm outraged on civilians in gaza, i think it's a moral question. and i'm outraged at people who are civilian and indecent are being hostage. you can't have morality for one side and not for the other. tel

udi goren�*s cousin, tal, was among those kidnapped by hamas. i spoke to udi a little earlier.w of tal, his phone was traced to the gaza strip. it was traced to khan younis, the town that was heavily bombed last night. this is part of the message we are trying to get out, directly related to what was just said, we have to stop the bombing. because we don't know where the hostages are. as long as there are bombings, is notjust the risk of when hamas might or might not release them. it is an actual threat to our own people. every single day. now, that we have heard reports that negotiations are at a serious stage, we haven't had much more in the way of details yet. with that development, how much more hopeful do you feel? tal is a romanian national. so he might be included in this deal. i don't want to get my hopes up, because they may shatter to the ground, and it has been difficult enough as is. my hope is to get everyone out, notjust my cousin. but of course he is my top priority. but there is no civilian that should be sacrificed at this point, or at any point. there are no c
