Mandy Damari, mother of Emily Damari, a British-Israeli hostage held for 426 days, appeals to the UK government for immediate action to secure her daughter's release and the provision of humanitarian aid to all hostages.
has said she wants “solutions, not sympathy” as she appealed to the government to help keep her daughter alive.
Mandy Damari described being in the capital as a “painful reminder” of what she has lost, but she hoped that next Christmas they could return to London together. Since her daughter’s ordeal began, the 63-year-old has spent her time in Israel campaigning for a ceasefire deal that secures the hostages’ release and brings an end to the war and “everyone’s suffering”.“And my message is this: A hostage deal may be weeks, months or even further away.
Damari has spent the last few days meeting politicians from across the political spectrum on her trip to the UK, and gave special thanks to the Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage, who told her he would talk to the US president-elect, Donald Trump, about Emily and the other hostages. “I appreciate the foreign secretary’s warmth in our personal meetings, but as I have said, I came for solutions, not sympathy. I hope that he is willing to adopt the cause of working to keep Emily alive while we wait for her eventual release,” she added.
