The United Nations Security Council meets on the evening of Monday, December 18 to try to obtain a ceasefire again, while the Israeli government has reiterated its objective of annihilating Hamas. In the West Bank, anger is brewing.
In Kabar, in the West Bank, Oum Asaf, 64, has only one son left by his side. One is dead and two are in prison. Her husband, who spent 20 years in Israeli prisons, recently died of Covid. “The pain of mourning is very hard. Imagine when I’m alone, I pass by all these photos, I have memories with each one“, she testifies. Oum Asaf’s family maintains close ties with Hamas. It is irreconcilable and sometimes violently opposed to Israel. Saleh was shot dead after killing two Israeli soldiers.
Rejection of the idea of peace with Israel
Oum Asaf also experienced Israeli jails twice. Imprisoned after October 7, she was finally released as part of the exchange agreement with Israeli hostages in Gaza. She denounces repeated humiliations and rejects the idea of peace with the Jewish state.
