Hostage’s grandson: ‘That’s not the way anyone should die’

The grandson of Israeli hostage Oded Lifschitz, 84, whose body was returned from Gaza to Israel this week, has spoken to the BBC.

Daniel Lifschitz criticised Hamas for kidnapping a great-grandfather, saying Oded died in “poor conditions, without food, without medication”.

He described his grandfather as “a warrior of peace” and said “a generation of education” free from Hamas was needed in order to bring progress towards peace in the region.
