Eitan Mor also said he had been ready to remain imprisoned longer if it meant Hamas’ destruction
In contrast to other former Hamas hostages who said they drew strength from knowing tens of thousands of people demonstrated weekly in Tel Aviv for their release during the War of Revival, Mor said the protests had the opposite effect.
Speaking on The Patriots in a segment aired Saturday night, Mor said he believed the demonstrations harmed Israel.
“I think they did damage to the country,” he told moderator Yinon Magal. “A little past the midpoint of the war, I … was taken into a tunnel and interrogated. Afterward, the officer who interrogated me came to consult with me how they could get more people to attend the Saturday night demonstrations. That’s essentially proof that the protests just served them.”
