FREED British-Israeli hostage Emily Damari has an emotional phone call with Sir Keir Starmer.
The Prime Minister expressed his happiness upon seeing the heartwarming photos of the 28-year-old reuniting with her mother, Mandy, nearly two weeks ago. He extended an invitation for her to visit 10 Downing Street once she has recovered from the challenging 15-month period she endured.
South East Londoner Emily was taken from her home in Israel on October 7, 2023, by Hamas gunmen who shot her in the hand and leg and killed her dog.
On the call, she claimed she was held for some time in a United Nations Facility, but denied access to medical treatment.
Despite losing two fingers and being left with a gunshot wound in her leg, all she was given was an out-of-date bottle of iodine.
Mandy said her daughter “seems to be doing pretty well psychologically” but is facing a long road to recovery physically.
On another front, concerns heightened recently regarding the well-being of two Israeli siblings, Kfir and Ariel Bibas, aged two and five respectively. This unease followed the announcement that their father, Yarden, was among three hostages set to be released by Hamas soon, with no mention made of the whereabouts of the boys or their mother, Shiri.
Relatives of the family have “mixed emotions”.
