On X, Today shared a clip of Savannah Guthrie’s interview with Yoni. Yoni’s wife and daughters went to visit his mother-in-law in a “little village next to Gaza.” However, he stayed back so he could work.
While speaking with Savannah, Yoni explained that he saw a video and recognized his wife and daughters. He also had a phone call with his wife. He said, “She told me that there were terrorists inside the house. But when I saw the video later after I tracked her phone, there was no doubt in my mind that she was taken.” Now, he believes his wife, daughters, and mother-in-law are in Gaza.
The devastated father begged for his family to be safely returned to him. He expressed his feelings about innocent women and children being captured, saying, “Babies, women, and families are off limits. You can’t just take them and hold them in captivity. I don’t know what conditions are they held in. I don’t know if they are enough, if they’re cold or hot, if they’re hurt, if they’re getting treatment right.”
