An Israeli woman held hostage by Hamas was in June at the University of California, Los Angeles and participated in a debate with a pro-Palestinian student and the son of Hamas founder Mosab Hassan Yousef.
The debate took place as part of The Gr8 Debate at the University of California. Moran Stella Yanai from Israel described her experience at the hands of Hamas: "When they kidnapped me, I was dressed in military uniform, so they classified me as a soldier," she said, adding that she was transferred three times, the last of 13 Hamas members .

The day before yesterday, on October 7, 2024, a day of remembrance for Israelis everywhere, the government allowed Palestinians and various left-wing groups to march on the Israeli embassy. It was an act of indecency. There could be dozens of gatherings that day. But a march to the Israeli embassy, no. It was like the abuser asking his victim for change. I do not know at what level – political or administrative – the specific permission for the march was granted and if permission was granted at all. Because we are in Greece, there are laws, but they are not respected and most importantly, their non-compliance most of the time does not result in sanctions, especially if the offenders belong to the Left.

On 7.10.2024, the general secretary of KISE Victor I. Eliezer participated in the show "On the air" with Niki Lymberakis on R/S Parapolitika and they discussed the developments in the Middle East. The transcript of the interview follows. Listen HERE the audio clip (33.00' – 46.35').
N. Lymberakis: We will talk with Mr. Victor Eliezer, Secretary General of the Central Jewish Council of Greece and journalist. We will also talk about the climate in Israel, the commemorative events and images that are going around the world and about the big question I think is whether there is a visible end to this bloodshed which of course starts from a barbarity, from a ferocity. The Hamas attack last year on the Nova festival with 1.200 dead and 250 hostages.
An appeal to the West to support Israel not only to defend itself, but also to prevail in its confrontation with Hezbollah and Iran, so that an air of freedom can finally breathe in the Middle East, is addressed by the French thinker and writer Bernard-Henri Levy with his article in the magazine La Rule Du Jeu.
