While celebrating Arbel\u2019s return, the family made it clear that their struggle continues, as Arbel\u2019s partner, Ariel, remains in Hamas captivity. “Arbel has returned to us, but our mission is far from complete. Her partner, Ariel, is still being held in Gaza, along with his brother David, their close friend Sasha, and so many others from Nir Oz and beyond. We will not rest until every hostage is freed.” <\/p>\n “Please Respect Her Privacy” <\/strong><\/p>\n The family issued a heartfelt plea to the public, urging respect for Arbel\u2019s privacy as she begins her recovery: “Though we understand the excitement and the feeling that Arbel belongs to all of us, we ask that she be given the peace and space she needs. We kindly request that you respect her privacy and ours during this crucial time.”<\/p>\n They added a strong call to action, emphasizing that the release of a few hostages should not close the door to continued efforts: “We cannot allow the door that has been opened to be shut. We must bring them all home\u2014immediately\u2014so that we, as a society, can begin to heal.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The family of Arbel Yehud, who was freed today (Thursday) after 482 days in Hamas captivity, shared an emotional message following her return to Israel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":13933,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[85,88,6],"tags":[2748,1476,1477,1482],"class_list":["post-13932","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-positive-moment","category-will-remember","category-security","tag-arbel-yehud","tag-gaza","tag-hamas","tag-hostages"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/F251025ARK208-scaled-1.jpg\")
