Eli Albag, whose daughter was one of the abducted observers shown in the video released last week, told Foreign Minister Bettel: "Imagine that your neighbors come and, depending on the population, murder 150 people and kidnap 12 citizens - what would Luxembourg do?"
"Imagine what would happen if you couldn't reach your daughter for two hours on the phone, what would happen your mind, to your heart?"
Sigal, Dolev Yehud's wife, said: "I know nothing about Dolev since he was kidnapped. He is a paramedic who went out to help people and was taken. Since he has been in captivity in Gaza, I have given birth. I am waiting for news;, he is a man, he will not be included in the current deal - he will the last to be released."
Dolev Yehud, 35, was with his family in their saferoom in Kibbutz Nir Oz during Hamas’s attack and left the room to assist those who were injured. Hamas terrorists captured and kidnapped him along with his sister Arbel and her partner Ariel.
Bettel was the first Luxembourg prime minister to visit Israel, in 2016.
