'I don't know what drug he drank': Former hostage's father snaps back against Smotrich's claims
Speaking with Gideon Oko and Amichai Atali on 103FM radio, Miran criticized Smotrich over his conduct during the two years in which Israelis were held in Gaza

The father of a former hostage publicly rebuked Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on live radio for his actions during the period Israelis were held in Gaza. This exchange reveals mounting familial frustration with political figures over the handling of hostage negotiations. The direct personal attack suggests a deepening rift between some hostage families and government officials whose public stance may have been seen as obstructionist.
