The siblings of Tzvi Feldman, H’yd spoke to the press on Sunday about the news they received in the morning about the return of their brother’s body after 43 years.

“This morning, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu came to our home and informed us of the news we’ve been waiting for almost 43 years,” Tzvi’s sister, Anat Cohen, said. “”We davened and we always believed that Tzvika would return home and now he returned and is here, in Eretz Yisrael.”

“We cried all our lives that our battle hasn’t ended. But today we thank Hakadosh Baruch Hu for the closing of the circle. And we thank Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who promised us all these years, who promised our parents 30 years ago, that he’ll bring Tzikva home. And Baruch Hashem, that’s what happened.”

“The unbelievable happened, and Baruch Hashem, Tzvika has returned. My siblings and I and are very emotional. We waited for this moment for 43 years.”

Tzvika’s brother, Itzik Feldman, told the press that his father was orphaned in the Holocaust. He managed to escape Europe before the Holocaust began, arrived in Eretz Yisrael, and established a home.

“When my brother Tzvika went missing, Abba would always say: ‘I won over Hitler. Why did my son have to go missing?’ Itzik said. “He would cry a lot. My mother fought like a lion, met with all the IDF Chiefs of Staff and prime ministers.”

“Today I woke up earlier than usual for davening. I went to the roof to recite Tehillim, I looked up at Shamayim and I spoke with the Borei Olam and asked for a sign from my brother. Suddenly, my brother-in-law called to come quick, there’s news about Tzvika.”
