Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned campaigns against Noa Argamani on Tuesday night, saying he was "shocked by the campaign directed against Noa Argamani."
Argamani, who was rescued from Hamas captivity on June 8 alongside three other hostages, has traveled to the US with other hostage families to accompany the PM on his visit to Congress.
Some have criticized her for this, including Danny Elgarat, whose brother Itzhak is still in captivity, who said Argamani's trip made her an "obstacle to getting a deal." Elgarat also said that Argamani should "avoid a situation in which he and other hostage family members would find themselves protesting against her."
In response to reported campaigns against her, Benjamin Netanyahu spoke today, alongside his wife Sara, saying: "Noa went through torment in Hamas captivity, she longed to return to her mother before her death, and she managed to see her. This is not an easy experience either."
Enough is enough
He added: "Now that she is back, and she comes and stands together with the Prime Minister of Israel and the official delegation of the State of Israel for a very important speech before both houses of Congress in the USA, a campaign against her emerges? They tell her: 'It's a pity you got out of captivity.'
"Is there no limit to the madness? There is a limit - this is the limit. Enough."
נתניהו: "אני מזועזע מהמסע שמכוון נגד נועה ארגמני. היא עברה ייסורים בשבי חמאס. עכשיו, כשהיא חוזרת ומתייצבת לנאום חשוב ביותר בפני בתי הקונגרס בארה"ב, יוצא מסע נגדה? אומרים לה 'חבל שיצאת מהשבי'. יש גבול לטרלול - זה הגבול. מספיק"@gilicohen10 (צילום: רועי אברהם, לע"ם) pic.twitter.com/pea3JZqTds

Argamani previously told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,"The hardest moment I had was when I listened to the radio and heard you say that the war would be long. I thought I wouldn't get out of here. It was a breaking point for me."
