JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Rescued hostage Noa Argamani was criticized by various anti-government journalists for joining the prime minister’s delegation to Washington. The journalists, including veteran Dan Margalit, claimed that Argamani was enabling Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to pursue his political ambitions while using the hostages as background. They added that Netanyahu has abandoned the remaining hostages and is not advancing a deal in order to promote his own political goals.

Hundreds of people held a special reception at the airport for Argamani and her father Yaakov, upon their return from the United States after joining Prime Minister Netanyahu’s delegation to Washington.
“The people of Israel salute you!” 🇮🇱

The participants sang songs in honor of Noa’s return from Hamas captivity several months ago and called out, “Israel salutes you.”
The Noam party’s youth department stated: “It is time for everyone to know that the people of Israel want victory and back the Prime Minister to lead the campaign to victory. Noa Argamani showed courage and national responsibility when despite all the protests of the extreme left she traveled and supported the position of the Israeli government to bring the campaign to a conclusion and to release the hostages.”
Deputy Minister Avihai Mizrachi added: “The hostages were kidnapped by the extreme left. Well done to Noa Argamani for not giving in to it.”
