Tasked with protecting nearby communities and the nation, she feels the government has abandoned her son. “They could have brought them back long ago,” she said. “So many opportunities were sabotaged. “If they’d made the deal then, everyone would be home. The government hasn’t even held a Cabinet meeting this week. They don’t hear our cries; they’re disconnected from this disaster’s scale.”
“We can’t fathom what they’re enduring, isolated, tortured, suffering. This is our Third Temple’s destruction, enabled by a government obsessed with political survival,” she said. She urged ministers: “Find a way to bring our loved ones back. You’ve abandoned my son!”
Despite the pain, Vicky draws hope from knowing Nimrod is alive. “I talk to him constantly, saying, ‘Nimrod, don’t lose hope.’ I wrap him in love and light. He feels it—I’m sure it reaches those tunnels. He’s so connected to me; I’m his mother. I tell him how much I love him, what a wonderful, sensitive soul he is.
“I imagine the moment he comes home. That’s what gets me up each morning,” she said. Reflecting on the hostage videos, she added, “I can’t control myself seeing Evyatar and Rom.
“It’s like a film replaying in my mind—such misery, such helplessness. They’re defenseless, unheard. How much blood and how many screams until they’re returned? Bring our children back before it’s too late, before there’s no one left to save.”
