  Released British-Israeli soldier discusses plight with PM Starmer

  

  Emily Damari, the Israeli soldier who grew up in south-east London and was taken hostage by the terrorist organization Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023, spoke Friday on the telephone with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, whom she told about her ordeal. Upon her release, she made headlines worldwide for having lost two fingers and because her sexual orientation (lesbian) had been kept from public knowledge to avoid further damage from her captors.
