Hanegbi: Those Responsible For Yaldei Teiman No Longer In Public Service


1Minister Tzachi Hanegbi, who was appointed by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to probe the Yaldei Teiman (missing Yemenite children) from the late 1940s and early 1950s, spoke with Kol Chai Radio host Betzalel Kahn on Thursday morning 17 Sivan.

Hanegbi explained that it has been some 70 years and in fact, anyone who was involved has left public service so he is hopeful today, much can be learned that remains closed in the past. There is an increasingly audible call to the state to declassify all of the information pertaining to the Yaldei Teiman under the Freedom of Information Law.

Kol Chai:

One of the names that is constantly mentioned in former President Shimon Peres, citing his involvement.

Hanegbi:

At the time, Peres was in his 20s since today, he is in his 90s. I doubt he was counted among the national leaders at the time. He may however know a name and prefer not to mar one’s memory by releasing information.

MK (Likud) Nurit Cohen Told Kahn that on her side of the family, her mom lost relatives and she hopes to spearhead efforts to declassify everything under the Freedom of Information Law since she feels enough time has passed and it is high time to give parents and families closure. She feels that it is high time to stop protecting people and for those people to stop hiding.

  1. “She feels that it is high time to stop protecting people and for those people to stop hiding.”

    They are hiding themselves and their deceased comrades because their crimes were so heinous that not even the KAP HAKALIAH will help them. Nevertheless it is only a matter of time now before the truth is outed. At that point a lot of street signs will need changing.

  2. How can he say the people responsible for kidnapping over 5,000 children are no longer with us? The current government who has all the records and will not divulge their names are equally responsible. Some of these children were sold to Jews and many sold to goyim abroad and could still be saved and come back to the Jewish nation and families.
