Avi Shamriz, the father of one of the three Israeli hostages killed by the Israeli forces in Gaza, has criticised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli government in an interview with NBC News.
"I'm going to say this [to] the government. You murdered my son twice," he told NBC News' Hallie Jackson on Monday. "You let Hamas take my son on October 7, and you killed my son on December 14."
"They cannot serve us," Shamriz said of Netanyahu's government. "They don't deserve us, as a country, as a community. They are not our leaders. They are thinking only of themselves, on their chairs, on their salaries.
"They are not thinking about the hostages," he added. "They are not thinking about us."
