“There’s no more war,” she added, fighting back tears during the emotional call.
For Einav, the emotional video call marked the first time she’d spoken to her son since he was taken from his home in Kibbutz Nir Oz with his partner, Ilana Gritzewsky, who was freed from Hamas captivity in November 2023.
