'Every Moment Counts' – Former Israeli Geisel Gadi Mozes calls for immediate publication for all remaining hostages in Gaza

For the first time since the publication, Gadi Mozes (80) from Kibbutz Nir Oz shared his experience of being captured by Hamas. On Thursday, he made his first public statement in a recorded message and addressed both the Israeli public and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“I was there and suffered. I saw the horrors that our people endured in captivity,” said Mozes. “Mr. Prime Minister, every day is crucial – crucial for the survival of our remaining hostages, crucial for our ability to bring our fallen wald for the funeral in Israel.”

Mozes was one of the oldest hostages that were kidnapped in Gaza strips and was freed after 482 days in captivity in the first phase of the Geisel deal.

He was held alone by the Islamic jihad, just like Arbel Yehudwhich was released next to him. During the same exchange, the viewpoint of the IDF (IDF) of the IDF (IDF) Agam Berger from IDF was freed from another location.

During his captivity, Mozes managed to deal with isolation by working with his kidnappers discussions about politics and Islamic faith. Although he received books about Islam, he tried to read without glasses and asked him to ask a couple that made his kidnappers available.

Without access to electricity, he slept at sunset and woke up before dawn. Sometimes he was able to hear Israeli air strikes nearby, as reported by Jerusalem Post.

According to his son Yair Mozes, his father often discussed Israeli land ownership with his kidnappers, who claimed that they were there before the Jewish people. “We had people in these places 3,000 years ago. What are you talking about?” His father replied to her claim.

Before he even united with his family, Mozes loved a vow when he was released: “I will do everything in my power to rebuild Nir OZ.”

“I was there for 482 days and suffered. I saw the terror that our people endured,” he said.

“Every moment counts. I was liberated after 482 days – I made it alive with the mere luck. But every day are those who were still kept a higher risk. I suffered there, I suffered very – mentally and physically and physically,” added, “added Moses and emphasized the increasing danger for those who stand behind the captivity.

Mozes offered his support to IDF soldiers, conveyed his condolences to the grieving families and wished the injured a quick relaxation.

“These brave people risked their lives to save me, my colleagues and all of our people,” he said.

He promised to “go the struggle for the publication of all the last hostage and to devote himself to the reconstruction of Nir OZ in order to re -transform them from a destroyed landscape into a flourishing community.”
