If you ask me, it\u2019s not about destroying Rafah or Sajaiya \u2014 it\u2019s children like Guli (Abigail) starting first grade.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;We are the victory \u2014 and so many families sending their children to a new beginning. All that remains is to bring back the remaining hostages and rebuild everything destroyed in these past two years. I have hope that one day, there will be good here again.&#8221; He concluded: &#8220;So here is Guli, our champion.
