Psychologist’s Mother goes Missing from Kibbutz amid Amidst Middle East Turmoil, Israel

Amidst the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East, a psychologist’s mother has gone missing from her kibbutz in Israel. Noam Sagi, who resides in London, spoke at a parliamentary reception about the distressing situation surrounding his mother’s disappearance. The reception, organized by Elnet UK, United Hatzolah of Israel, and World Jewish Relief, aimed to address the current situation in Israel and the impact of war and terror attacks, as well as the conflict in Ukraine. However, the focus inevitably turned to the Hamas terror attacks on Israel and the dire circumstances faced by innocent civilians. Noam Sagi’s emotional testimony shed light on his mother’s courageous fight and the uncertainty surrounding her whereabouts. Ada Sagi, a Hebrew and Arabic teacher, firmly believed in the power of communication to build a better future. Noam expressed hope that his mother, if captured, could potentially bridge the gap between her captors and political leaders through dialogue. He urged people to stand up for decency and humanity, emphasizing the importance of countering hate. The evening also featured contributions from politicians Robert Jenrick and Wayne David, who both expressed their commitment to combating antisemitism. Lord Polak praised the director of Elnet UK, Joan Ryan, for her dedication to fighting antisemitism and anti-Zionism. The event concluded with a panel discussion and contributions from various speakers, shedding light on the situation in Israel and the broader region.
