Israel innovation envoy Fleur Hassan-Nahoum sits down with Yossi Schneider, cousin of Shiri Bibas, to share the untold personal tragedy behind one of Israel’s most devastating hostage stories from Oct. 7.
He opens up about the heartbreak of losing his cousin and her two young sons, Ariel and Kfir, while her husband, Yarden Bibas, was released after 484 days from Hamas captivity in Gaza without them. With raw honesty, Schneider speaks about the cruelty of the Hamas terrorist organization; the failure of global institutions like the Red Cross and human-rights organizations to assist the hostages; and the moral collapse of a world that still refuses to take a stand.
The episode covers the hypocrisy of international leaders, the silence of the United Nations, the betrayal by so-called humanitarian groups and the importance of Jewish unity in the face of terror. Schneider also offers powerful insight into what Israel must do next—on the battlefield, in diplomacy and in fighting for the return of every last hostage.
