The mother of an Israeli captive held in Gaza has accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of blocking the return of her son and the rest of the captives. 

According to Army Radio, Einav Tsengaoker, mother of captive Matan, said the government was trying to "delegitimise" families and protesters as if they "have interests".

"Unfortunately, the prime minister is the one who is preventing us from accepting the abductees back and healing society," she added.

Earlier on Thursday, she addressed Netanyahu at a rally, saying: "You lost, you have no way to escape the guilt, it will go with you to the grave - you chose your political survival over the people and the abductees. I will not let you bury Matan and the other abductees in the name of your survival."
